I also was refused. .. and ended up with two mishapen still very heavy breasts. They need to be clearer on why they wont do it. They never offer any information, you always have to dig, which was difficult because I had never dealt with cancer before.

I am sorry you have the same issue. I don’t understand why so many doctors can’t understand that what we want, should at least be considered. I am so glad we found Mayo and a network of local Mayo trained doctors now. It is comforting to know we now get included in the decision making. I hope you have found ways to deal with this, an independent women’s lingerie shop is a miracle to people like us.
