Feelings about single mastectomy

Hello,

I had a single mastectomy at the end of July with expanders. I had a follow up surgery to remove the expanders as my body did not like them. My plan, as of now, is to not do reconstruction. I am looking for any advice on prosthetics. I have found a certified fitter and requested prescriptions for both the prosthetic and mastectomy bras. Thank you!

I chose a mastectomy with no reconstruction and went the route of being fitted professionally for a prosthetic. My experience was so comfortable and reassuring. The technician measured carefully and the end result has been very satisfactory. I also chose two bras which were also professionally fit. This was covered by my Kaiser insurance.
