Hi Sue,

I was diagnosed with BC in October 2019  I finished treatment at the end of February 2020  

Aveeno or just ordinary Nivea are both very good for moisturising your breast after treatment (not before) Just do it as often as you can but as I say not prior to the actual treatment. 
 

I had a breast reduction too. Like you I was pleased with the out come (!) though I would rather have done without the cancer!

I have since been 'evened up' so have breasts which are proportionate to my body size. Pleased with the outcome!  The 'evening' up op isn't half as difficult to recover from than the cancer op was. Very different experience. Much easier!! 
 

In the longer term I have found that my treated breast has shrunk a bit. I was warned this would likely happen. It is also feeling a bit 'stiff' and is easily hurt if I accidentally knock it for example.  I think this might be quite a long term issue but in all honesty it's not a big deal  

The first mammogram is a bit of a trial but it has to be done!! Got my second one in September. Fingers crossed on that. 

Like Nicky has said, the journey too and fro to treatment is tiring and especially so as you are only in treatment for about 20mins tops!! 
 

I didn't particularly get tired but I was weary the week after my last session. I had 15 treatments. 
 

Overall I found the experience to be ok really. I do hope you get on ok. Sending positive vibes. Keep well. 
Kebbs.
