Double mestectomy

Hi Robyn, I am an 'older' woman too :) and loved the opportunity of having no breasts that bounce around and get in the way.  Unfortunately I carry a lot of weight on the tummy so look like I am 12mths pregnant and the flat chest isn't helping at all.  It looks absolutely awful.  But I do hate the prothesis as well as they become way too hot for me and also means that I have to wear a bra everytime I go out even in the yard.  Thought I would try the adhesive smaller prothesis, if I can ($$$). Also not sure how the adhesive goes against the skin, the sticky bandages and tapes on my left breast, while it is healing, leaves the skin red, itchy and sore.  Will try and research more of that side of it before I make a decision.  I hate making  decisions at the best of times let alone now.

Also just read the research paper re: Breast Reconstruction and was blown away by the fact that in 2003 it  showed that only 8% of Australian women who had mastectomies had breast reconstructions.  Go figure!
