Re: Thoughts on removal of opposite healthy breast?
I chose both to be removed same reason as most didn't want to have to go through this again. I am happy with my choice and love my new boobies (they look better then the origonals). I even went up a size and am having fun wearing tight shirts to show them off ![Smile](http://her2support.org/vbulletin/images/smilies/smile.gif) Go with what your heart tells you, in the end you should be able to tell yourself you have no regrets. Good luck.
