Hi @Marketta, one of the ladies in my support group is very sporty/active and when she got bc for the second time, decided to have double mastectomy with immediate implants. However,the breast that had had previous radiation kept breaking down and the implant had to be redone in surgery.This happened 7 times in the one year and in the end she told her surgeon to just remove both of them.She is very happy being flat and back to all her activities. For me,I’m lopsided with one boob and it’s annoying but can’t bring myself to have more surgery.
