Hi @roylej I didn’t have nipple sparing, but I have since had 3D nipple tattoos done - brilliant. I decided, that for me personally, I didn’t want the post surgery angst of trying to save one nipple as I knew it wasn’t recommended for the side that had ILC. After surgery, the pathology showed ‘abnormal cells’ in my good breast, not cancer, but they would have needed monitoring. This confirmed I had made the right choice to have the BMX. I spoke with my plastic surgeon quite early - half way through chemo - so I had a bit of time to think through my options. The tattooist I saw has developed a type of 3D tattooing which is really effective.
