Hi. I'm BRCA 2 positive, just had a bilateral mastectomy, going through chemo and will get my implants after that. Ovaries removed sometime next yr

- having insufficient tummy to make anything substantial
Even after 5 weeks after surgery - my breasts look fab. Minimal scars, great cleavage. Couldn't be happier!
