Post Mastectomy Must Haves?

It’s great when you feel confident about finding the right decision for yourself. 22 years ago had mastectomy with saline implant. IDC discovered in April in same breast . I told my general surgeon I wanted the implant out and go to a flat chest and the surgeon told me “you don’t want that.” I was surprised at her strong reaction. Glad I did what I wanted. Then the oncologist shamed me for refusing tamoxifen 22 years ago. Tough crowd!

Wow! I totally embrace being flat. No bras, no backaches, I even bought funny shirts like one with fried eggs on it. Lol I chose not to do tamoxifen, and have had total support. I'm so very sorry you've had to experience this!! How awful for you!
