I too chose to go flat (was 69 and married over 30 years when DMX performed) and never regretted the decision. I got the heavier prothesis for those special occasions, but also made myself a set of "knitted knockers" for shape but no weight, otherwise I go flat. If I feel the need, I'll wear a scarf or a vest when I go flat instead of wearing anything for shape. I'm going to check out bustedtank.com for some additional bras to use with my "knitted knockers" - since they are light weight they should work well with those garments. The decision to go flat was easy for me at that time, but if I had been younger or had a more customer facing position, the decision might have been different. But at this stage of my life and based on my dx - removing them eliminated the high recurrence for the other side and the worry that would create. As is my dx (TNBC BRCA2+) has a higher recurrence during the first 5 years after dx.
