Diagnosed with breast cancer in one breast and have to have a mastectomy. My question is I feel I want to go flat as I want to recover quickly and as I have small breasts haven’t really bothered too much about them. Is it ok to make a quick decision and just get on with it? Husband supports whatever I want to do.
