    here is the site: http://www.breastfree.org/

     

    The Alternative to Reconstruction

    Information, Advice, and Support

       For women considering whether or not to have reconstruction
       For women who have already decided against reconstruction

    The loss of one or both breasts to breast cancer can be devastating. Some women believe immediate or delayed reconstruction will help them recover emotionally from the trauma of mastectomy. But many women decide against breast reconstruction. Sometimes because they dread the pain and risk of additional surgery. Sometimes because medical issues make reconstruction inadvisable. But many women decide against reconstruction for positive reasons.
