@Tracey62 My sister had DCIS diagnosed in 1997. Had a full mastectomy and prosthesis. Back then, I don't think reconstruction was routinely discussed as an option. She had two small children and also another cancer (brain tumour) so elected to have the second breast removed, for prophylactic reasons, twelve months later. She's had no recon and is totally flat.......BUT.......to be honest, and maybe it 'cause I'm used to her appearance, you'd never know. She wears patterned tops, ones with frills etc, scarves, funky chains and necklaces and is a great role model for flat and fabulous! However, for me, diagnosed with IDC grade 3 in Sept '16, recon is my choice. Needed a mastectomy of right breast and currently have a tissue expander. Will have permanent implant inserted in a few months. It really is such a personal choice. Keep researching and thinking about what is best for YOU.
