Yes @Sarnicad I have a bit of a divet in my BC breast too. It was also quite firm straight after finishing radiation but it has softened a bit in the month since.
@arpie - my 'OK breast' was noticeably larger even before BC. My surgeon commented on it as well and said it was a shame! I have been wearing bonds maternity bras without underwire since surgery and it is only noticeable that they are different sizes when I am not wearing a bra. I do want to get back to swimming and it is noticeable in a one piece. The swimming pool I go to is only small and the people that go there are friendly and usually a bit older so it probably won't be a big deal if I am a bit lopsided.
The best thing about being a bit over three months post chemo is that my hair has grown a lot. It is now long enough to have a little cowlick at the front. It made it easier going back to work last week. I am not as self conscious about looking like a cancer patient now!
