Hi annette, It’s completely understandable to feel torn - you’ve had your prostheses for so long, and they’ve helped you feel like more like 'yourself' at the time when you needed them. Now it sounds like ready to remove them, but not sure what this means for you....Whatever you choose, it should be what helps you feel comfortable and confident. 💛
If you think it would be helpful, you might like to join our private community groups Flat Chat (staying flat) or Breast Reconstruction, which have images of real surgeries and communities of real people who have faced this same decision. Wishing you all the best and please keep us updated how you go :)

Thanks Christina. I just want to feel like a woman and look like a woman. And I know breasts don't make me that. But I think if I go flat I will really always remember BC in a more drastic way. I dont think I could look in the mirror at myself.I don't think there is an answer. Its one way or the other.
