Never done a BLOG before.

Does anyone else really not like the breast they are left with 1 year after diagnosis and treatment?

Mine is causing me angst on a daily basis at the moment.

    I think having a dodgy breast,losing your hair and your confidence all take their toll.I have trouble recognizing myself now. I suppose any sort of breast is more convenient than no breast.But then you have the worry that cancer  might come back.If you are unhappy with it can you talk to a plastic surgeon to see what could be done?I didn't have a greenish nipple.I understand how you must feel as I don't much like my bumpy scarred chest.

    Now 13 months since diagnosis and  after surgery and chemo and radiotherapy. My breast is big and pudding like and with a greenish nipple!! Don't like it at all but at least I have a breast so should I be happy about that?

    Do you mean after lumpectomy and radiation?Cos there can be alot of discomfort afterwards.Mine looked alot smaller with a squashed nipple.It was really just for filling my bra.Anyway,cancer came back in it and now it's gone.
