Hi Chrissy, I had a recurrence in 2015, 3cm tumor, did chemo but not rads as did it 4yrs earlier. Im 15 months post chemo and large breasted too E cup and am recovering from a single mastectomy diep flap reconstruction all at once. Right now yes they are different but my revision surgery in 6 months he will lift the other to match. Its amazing in a bra at 3 weeks nobody can tell at all. Honestly matching im not worried as have an incredible plastic surgeon. I did lots of homework genetic testing as was negative. We all agreed a double was unnecessary. I have no regrets at all but really you need your complete pathology to make a decision also. Im ER+ only. Risk of other breast is like anyone else no increase. Hugs Melinda xo
