Hello Katrob and welcome to this site which will offer a huge support network and lots of good information. You must be in a head spin with such quick action. I too had a double mastectomy in July. But had months to get used to the idea as I had 5 months of chemo first.
How do you feel with out your breast? You did not have long to actually think about things which sometimes is the best way to go. I am 55yrs old and have elected not to have replacements as I don't have a partner and honestly getting used to the flat chested look. Summer of course will be the time when I will problaby grieve my losing my breasts. I hope not. I think I am more than looking shapely but that's me.
Any questions or support I can offer please just ask.
Cyber hugs coming your way
Sarah
