Any regrets after going flat?
I'm seriously considering having my other breast off, and going flat. I don't have a cancer gene, and have not had this recommended for that reason. But I am finding my remaining breast a nuisance. ...

@kmcin28 Are you still having yearly mammograms and ultrasounds? As it is under 5 years, I would think so. I am assuming they are all clear? (Mind you, mine was also clear and it totally missed MY ILC - found just months later by my GP!).
Can you contact your cancer centre and arrange a meeting or 2 with the psychologist that they should have on hand for concerned patients? If you can get your concerns down ‘on paper’ and show how leaving the breast ‘there’ will be a problem to you ... squeaky door and all that. And chat with your Onc too ....
Your request will not be that unusual .. Shame your original surgeon didn’t discuss it more fully with you back then.
If you put your general area (town/city) into your profile .... other members nearby may be able to point you towards a sympathetic surgeon xx
