Who Else Has Decided NOT To Have Implants or Reconstructive Surgery?
Breast Cancer | Last Active: May 19 6:19am | Replies (42)Comment receiving replies
I had a double Mx , discs inserted , then silicone implant surgery , was sick all over and body totally rejected them and I finally had them removed them three years later at Mayo . I have stretched out skin under my arms around my chest that I would love to have removed but I’m 76 and my husband doesn’t care and it would be cosmetic . I did not have to have radiation and was on AI for five years . I just like being healthy and flat chested . The external implants look natural . I wish I had had no discs implanted at the time of my mastectomies in the very beginning . So thankful I got it early.

Greetings All beautiful people!
I did have a double mastectomy
In October 2023
I did not have any reconstruction!
I feel that not having any reconstruction avoids any further issues in the breasts
My mother had 1 breast removed at age 75 and the second removed at age 80
I only wish I had known that she could have had both removed and avoided the second surgery!
My plan is to laugh, live and love freely without any thoughts about will this come in my second breast or would any implants give me grief!
We do what we can to keep ourselves moving in a positive direction with hope in our hearts 🥰 the Lord as our guide!!
BTW flat is a new style and beautiful 😻
Sending prayers to all of us today and for future breast cancer candidates it’s a shock and scary when we find out and this web site has been a blessing for me!
Hopeful 2024
