Hi @Chrissy_L2022 i had a double mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with implants 6 weeks ago. I can’t compare it to any of the other surgery options but I’ve been happy with the decision, I have breasts which feel like part of me and I have long stretches of the day now where I don’t even think about them. My implants are over the muscle. I don’t have a feeling of something foreign in my body which is one of the things I was worried about. I’m still healing and it’s a slow process, they don’t feel like my original breasts and I have no sensation but i’m impressed and grateful. Everyone’s situation and experience is unique, I didn’t have chemo to contend with. I found the breconda resource really useful for consolidating how i felt about each of the options. All the best with your decision making, I’ve found the decisions a hard part of breast cancer.
