Hello, to start I was 66 when diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. I carry the BRCA 2 gene so a double mastectomy was recommended. The surgery itself was tough and so are we!! Even at my age I was heartbroken to lose my breast as as time goes by you learn to accept the fact. I had reconstruction with implants no nipples. My surgeon recommended a company called Pink Perfect who makes realistic nipples and WOW did they bring my confidence back. Just a recommendation to add to your replies

@16bernie thank you. Yes im struggling with the idea of not having breasts too. I get the whole cancer process but reality sets in and I will no longer have breasts. Did you talk to ant counsellors ?
