@Blister I had one node removed on left side, and two on right side as my cancer was bilateral. It wasn’t a prophylactic double mastectomy. I don’t feel major changes, except for some numbness in my armpits, but it’s already getting better.
Now, I just need to say that at the age of 60 you are still very young. And regardless of age, you have every right under the sun to want to have nice looking, even breasts that will allow you to wear what you want and look pretty and be comfortable. These are all your rights as a human and as a woman. Especially after having gone through bc. It is NOT vain, and you deserve it. Women have breast augmentation just for self confidence, well imagine us, after having our poor breasts cut in pieces or cut away completely! We deserve it more than anyone I think. And having bc can make you feel like you’re not woman enough and it can also make you feel very unattractive, so you end up thinking why should I bother. I know because that’s how I felt after my diagnosis. But after some work on my mental and emotional health I feel and think differently. I now believe I am deserving of all the beautiful things this world has to offer, including nice breasts, and so should you! 👊🏻👌🏻.
Partial reconstruction is possible, as is mammoplasty, so that might be a good option for you. If you’re in Sydney, I can give you the name of my surgeon who is fantastic at it. Let me know and good luck 😊❤️
