What a long wait for your results. I am still waiting and like you I am expecting a positive result because the family history is huge.
I had a double mastectomy and immediate recon last year. Second dose of Bc so wanted both removed. They looked good but as a result of radiation 12 years ago I had lots of trouble with a tiny area of skin. Finally after lots of trying to save the skin I gave up and had the implants removed. I can't tell you how happy I am now with a flat chest. In a few more weeks I can be measured for prothesis but honestly I think I will investigate buying a padded bra for those special occasions. I was only small to start with.
Whatever you decide make sure you are fully informed. I am glad I tried. I have no regrets but very satisfied with my cancer free flat chest! Cheers. sue
