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

oh what an awful experience. It's amazing what can go wrong with all this. Feels like a slippery slope. My surgeon said; "After surgery, then you'll be done." I asked; "so no radiation?" and he said; "well maybe a little." When will I be clear of this? I am looking forward to peace of mind that others talk about after mastectomy.

I had a double mastectomy and was relieved when I heard I didn't need radiation chemo or extra medication. I had thought I wanted reconstruction so a stretcher had was put in at the time of surgery. Now I am so sick of surgery that I think I want to just leave things as they are but I'll still have to have the stretcher removed. Has anyone else done that?
