Hi @rladdley You'll find a discussion I started last week called 'Going Flat with Pride'. The title is self-explanatory. :)
I'm 61 and single after a couple of marriages and another long-term relationship. The last thing I want to do is attract another man.
My surgery was on 18th August this year and I now have a thin, pink scar across my chest. It is not unsightly. Being flat is freeing!
I've seen so many posts about failed reconstructions, etc. As much as I like my surgeon, I really don't want to see him again.
My tumour was invasive, triple positive. An examination of the removed breast tissue found a tumour hiding in the other breast. Good decision on my part for a DMX.
Many women are going flat with pride. This is a movement called #beflat (among others).
Your breasts, your decision. But since you asked, I thought I'd give you the benefit of my experience.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have. x
