Hi everyone.
Just joined the group.
I was diagnosed with Grade 3 IDC in Jan 2015 , no nodes involved and had 3 lumpectomies and radiotherapy, no chemo. In 2017 I was diagnosed with Paget’s Disease in the same breast, which is a cancer of the nipple. I then had a mx without recon. I’ve been left with one large breast, I’m a H Cup, and have to wear a large prosthetic, which is uncomfortable and has a tendency to fall out my bra whenever I lean over (often in the supermarket!) The imbalance is also causing me pain in my neck and shoulder and my surgeon had agreed that I should have the remaining breast removed, for symmetry and risk reduction. BC runs all through my family, although I am negative for BRCA. I am quite happy to be flat now and don’t want recon and have no problem with body image. I’m nearly 70 and have been married for 45 years. I would probably feel differently if I was younger I think. Had anyone else been down this route? Had a little bit of a wobble today which surprised me.
Hi Frankie. Different route here, same outcome. I had a mastectomy nearly five months ago, told the surgeon not to bother with reconstruction, and I was glad I told her that when a few months later it was decided the other breast needed to go too. The same surgeon did the other side while "revisiting" the original, and now I am recovering from that. I have no interest in reconstruction and so far have not been using the prostheses. Like you, I feel comfortable in my own skin.
A bit of a wobble is allowed 
I hope you are feeling ok now.
