After breast cancer surgery

Hi I was diagnosed with cancer in two areas of my right breast in April 2015 on a routine mammogram check after the surgery I lost my nipple to necrocis my treatment continued with 4 weeks of radiotherapy my breast has healed up nicely the scars are still visible and I know they will fade in time I will also be on Tamoxofen for the nxt 10 years.Before my Operation my first visit to Oncologist he told me my breast would need to be removed and then a reconstuction on my 2nd visit a week later my Oncologist discussed my case with a plastic surgeon and because my breast size was a 34E they could perform a breast reduction of which was a great relief to me I now have one breast a 34C and the other a 34E the Doctors have offered me a reduction on my unaffected breast has anyone else experienced this as I'm unsure what to do next and would appreciate any advice thankyou
