I had a single mastectomy just under 2 weeks ago, and to my surprise when I look down at my chest, I am not horrified at what I see and surprisingly like the flat side and wish the other breast (although healthy) could be removed. I am not at all interested in reconstruction as the whole flap procedure sounds aweful and like I said I don’t miss my breast! Has anyone else had these feeling? People seem horrified that I feel this way which make me feel like I’m weird not acting like everyone assumes you should after a mastectomy. I am still me, girly and genuine and not defined by having breasts. I am 47, have 3 grown up children and am single. I am worried I may never meet anyone but am certainly not having a reconstruction for what may be. I don’t want to be left like this and am so worried about the future as initial discussions with my consultant said they won’t consider this. It’s all I can think about, despite waiting for treatment after biopsy results in a few weeks. Please tell me I’m not alone in my thinking
