I also had the single mastectomy- no reconstruction, and that was 2018. I have the prosthetic, and throw it in the bra before going to work or out- if I did not tell you, you wouldn't be able to tell. I am used to it, so used to it that being the klutz I am, I once bumped it into the door frame- and thought- that's gonna leave a bruise- oh, wait- lol! I have no regrets, just get aggravated that we are forced into a place where we even have to consider these decisions. Big hugs!

@A MyBCTeam Member: not sure of exactly what you're asking, lovely one...? I had a mastectomy to flat - I wear a "foob" (fake boob) sometimes but other times nothing at all. Doesn't bother me. A great place to check out is the Facebook group "Fierce, Flat, Forward" - its all women who decided to go flat (no reconstruction). Wishing you all the best! 💕🦄

Hi Najmeh, for me everything had gotten better with time. My cancer was hormone positive and I am dealing with osteoporosis. I’m in my 2nd year of anastrozole as a hormone blocker and am getting annual infusions of zometa for the osteoporosis. I’ve tolerated both fairly well. I get my third dose of zometa in September. My last bone density did show satisfactory improvement. Good luck with your treatments.

Dear Mellisa, such a relief to hear from you, and FFF group in Facebook. I will contact them. It is 29 days passed my surgery, the drain is gone on 3/13/23. I am glad i can shower normally, be truthful i have not got used to seeing myself with only one breast, but really who cares i got rid of cancer. That was my greatest victory in my life. My Oncologist was encouraging me to get rid of my Hormones. When i mentioned my Osteoprosis, she changed her mind. But my PCP said there is a balance between the two problems. Anyone had similar problems? Thank you ladies, i trust your opinions, i know it comes from your heart.

Thank you dear Viginia, that is exactly what i feel. I just needed to hear it from another person, with single mastectomy, Cheers. Najmeh
