Coping with Uneven Breasts After Cancer Treatment

Know what you mean. Had double mastectomy two surgeons so even with no breast I still don't look the same on each side. The side I had radiation on was pulled so tight that it feels like a band has been pulled tight around my chest constantly had to have a second surgery to close it. On the other side I was left with a dog ear. Nothing is even. Looks like crap. However, I'm still alive so that counts for a lot 😂.

I have the same issue with ugly surgery’s results. But I too am still here.

By now, you would think surgeons would be better. Mine doesn't sound as bad as some of you, but I too have issues with my outcome from the radiation and scars. I have to focus on that I'm alive and am thankful for that. I may remain by myself for the rest of my life, but am remaining hopeful that he's out there fir me somewhere and understanding.
