Hi Shaz,
I was really upset about losing my breast but because it was a recurrence I just wanted it off as soon as possible and then deal with the rest later . I was surprised how ok I was when I looked at my chest after surgery-maybe high on pills! I got fitted with a prosthesis and honestly I forget about it once I'm dressed- it looks natural and even.I'm a bit paranoid that the cancer could come back in the scar line so won't think about reconstruction for the moment. I had to alter some clothes that had low necklines else you'd see a concave area and scar.I don't like looking at my scar so undress and dress quickly.I won't go naked full stop!!!But otherwise I have come to terms with it and so has my husband.He has been amazing,my rock.From time to time I think about reconstruction but am nowhere near ready(if ever).I had my mastectomy last May. Just thought you'd like to hear the lopsided point of view! Good luck with your decision and surgery.
