Sherri,
I loved your story about your friend. I had a bilateral mastectomy in June 06 and I did get my prothesis(s). I must admit though, I'm like your friend -- I don't wear them. I'm much more comfortable without and really don't mind being flat chested. It's quite a change from going from a D cup to nothing but I'm loving it. When I got my "fake boobs" I didn't want to be a D cup anymore so I got a C cup and when I put them on they just look so big - guess since I've been flat chested for so long I don't know what big is anymore.
