Wow! Lots of constant changes in breast cancer over these past years! I just returned from pre-op appointment and we’ve decided to do the mastectomy. She does what she terms “the Goldilocks” method whereby she saves the nipple and skin, takes fatty tissue and fills in so it appears more natural afterward. So, that’s the plan unless the results from wearing heart monitor would change things. I’m feeling better about it all today. Of course, the bone and CT scans I had last week showed no sign of metastatic cancer. Feeling blessed beyond measure 😇🙏❤️. Surgery now scheduled for end of March!

@buckokey Awesome, I tried to save my nipple didn't work out that way. Sounds like a good plan using your own skin, and fat. I just decided to do this recently. I think it's better because it's your own skin,fat from your stomach area,which is similar to a tummy tuck but, different. Implants have to be removed and replaced from time to time do to age of implant. So your age should be considered. What is the Goldilocks method? Interested to hear?
