I'm with Jennymen!
I had a L mastectomy in March last year, and never considered reconstuction. I don't want any more operations than I really need, whether for reconstruction or removal of the remaining breast. I don't usually wear a prosthesis. I am not ashamed of surviving this thing, and if other ppl find it a little confronting, I can live with that.
One interesting thing -- in not reconstructing and not wearing a prosthesis, other BC survivors sometimes recognise me as a fellow BC traveller. There's a kind of nice solidarity in that. Go well, and make your own (well-informed) decision -- whatever feels right for you.
