I should add that my breasts were not great, one was even scarred from burns I received as a toddler, so I didn’t miss them. My cousin on the other hand had large breasts, even after having had a reduction 20 years ago. She only had one lesion, but did not want to have chemo or radiation and the possibility of more surgeries. She opted for a mastectomy and going flat. She has never regretted the decision, but she said she was sad sometimes about her breasts being gone in the beginning. So, as others have shared everyone has their own feelings.
Attitude will win out in the long run! Praying for you!

It is probably normal to feel sad at the beginning. Thanks for the prayers!
