@primek I would say my prejudice is more against the idea of implants, rather than women who get them. I have heard a lot of commentary about them being too firm, sitting too high, and not ageing in sync with the other breast.
I have a smaller bust size and my left, non cancerous, boob is slightly smaller than the right, but I am quite happy with the idea of having a smaller, hopefully matching, right breast.
As to your question about whether there is sensation in a DIEP breast, I believe there should be. I am told it should feel more natural than an implant, warmer and softer.
As with most things related to this situation, there's no 'great' option, which would be not to lose the breast, or have bits chopped out of it/them at all, just the best available and best suited to the individual.
