Thank you! I am seriously considering a double because I don’t want to go through all this anxiety again. Although I am aware that there could still be issues. Are you happy about the choice you made? Did you have reconstruction?

I did not have reconstruction (11 years ago) and am happy I didn’t. Like you, I didn’t want to go through more than I had to. I was stage 1 but BRCA2+. If you are sure you don’t want reconstruction be sure the surgeon believes that and gives you the flattest look not leaving excess skin for reconstruction — my only complaint. I have prosthetics that just go on with the outfit when I’m going out with friends and want my clothes to fit better but I don’t wear them around the neighborhood, running errands, etc. I was 54 and divorced so it was an easy decision for me. One benefit — it is much easier to exercise with a flat chest. 😊Best of luck with your decisions.
