Who Else Has Decided NOT To Have Implants or Reconstructive Surgery?

I just today was told by surgeon to have mastectomy on left breast. Chemo got all the cancer but he says there's a lot of calcification ans that, with family history, makes me very high risk for new cancer to grow there. Very disappointing news after 6 rounds of chemo.

I had a bilateral mastectomy 1 year ago. The reason I did was I’m positive for the BRCA gene and family history. I did have cancer in my left breast. I’m 77 years old and did not want to go through getting implants. I’m not sorry I did, it’s very freeing and with my history my surgeon said my chances of it coming back were very high. I have a wonderful husband that loves me no matter what, after 58 years of marriage our bond is not going anywhere. It’s a very personal decision do what you feel is right. God bless ❤️
