I had a mastectomy 5 years ago with no reconstruction (my choice). Most people wouldn't have a clue I only have one breast. Even immediately after surgery, I went out and about looking perfectly normal. I was a bit self conscious for the first day, but then I realised I was the only one who knew anything was different. Many people have reconstruction (immediate or later) and are very happy with it, but if you do have to wait a little, it's all possible.
