Why I'm not having breast reconstruction

im probably not going to argue if people feel like a 'freak' as i reckon there will be others who make it work and its the right decision for them. If i felt like a freak then i would do something about it-either emotionally or operationally;  i havent been in that position however i did entertain the notion briefly about what i would do --and i thought 'well ive only got one nose..!' I think it is those responses that might guide you to have certain treatements over others.  I like that choice can be part of this bc experience --so if none feel right--go for it --if reconstruction is wanted --go for it etc.. what i have reacted to if women are potentially not being offered choice --and if media and sites llike this one dont offer the range of expereinces so that potentially impacts on treatment. i dont have direct experiences of seeing someone i know die of BC; i will accept that this might impact some people's decision making.  Im lucky that i have associations with people who have had cancer and rejected some treatment proposals and are still alive..so in some indirect way that does support my rather low key journey.  some people have written about their christianity being key to their belief that they are doing the right thing...others who label their cancer a 'bitch'-- this doesnt reflect on my experience or my relationship to myself but this website needs to be able to make room for a range of experiences
