Hi again
I forgot to add that I have used a prosthesis for seven years, happy with it. What you do post mastectomy is a very individual choice, based on lots of things and your surgeon may also be able to advise on options if reconstruction is of interest (now or some time in the future). But many (the majority still I think in Australia) opt for no reconstruction. I find a prosthesis easy, have one for swimming too. Best wishes.
