"We're removing the whole of the footprint of the breast [on the right]. It is a very, very large area of skin and to be able to close it you have to borrow from somewhere, some skin and tissue, that can withstand future radiotherapy."Left is a side that's easy to reconstruct in future, because it's not subject to radiotherapy and all other treatments, and the cancer itself."When Nicola went into the surgery, she knew she could wake up to very different outcomes - a successful left to right transplant, or an LD flap reconstruction on her right side after all if he decided the transfer would not work, with the left breast removed anyway at her request.

She gave Reza her blessing for any outcome. And her outrageous gamble paid off."What makes it a world first is that the tissue has been ported to two different sites," she said.

"We didn't know if that would be possible or probable, the microsurgery of actually sewing the vessels together - if it would work or if it would be so scarred that it would be completely impossible."
