Feelings about single mastectomy

@worried1111 I’m glad to hear your results. I feel the same way about quality of life and at 67 I feel very young and fit. I am set for a double mastectomy in a week. Doc says my skin is too thin for nipple-sparring. What do you and others think about reconstruction without nipples?

@jjjw I am very pleased with my double reconstruction. The plastic surgeon used some skin to create a very light slight projection of nipples which was then tattooed. I never thought that being returned back to “normal “ (after a single mastectomy) would have been such a great psychological boost! It was really underplayed by the medical profession. I guess they want to save money…
