Hi
i had a left mastectomy June 2016 and so far have elected to not have a reconstruction. I may change my mind in the future or maybe not. There is no pressure to make a decision. At present I wear a prosthesis which slips into a bra with a pocket. I would recommend visiting a mastectomy bra and prosthesis specialist. Medicare refunds are available on a prosthesis. The silicon one I purchased cost $400 and Medicare covered the full cost. I find it very heavy so bought a swim form and wear it every day. There was a brochure in the my journey kit that the McGrath nurse gave me. Good luck with any decision you make
