You reaction is normal, dear Emelie! I was 35 when I had the mastectomy. At a first time the idea terrify me, but I was thinking a lot about the idea of femminility and about my body: at the end I was sure that I was not going to loose my appeal! I was going to fight for my life!
Two months ago I had the reconstruction and now I'm very happy. Ok, my breast has a lot of scars, but I feel good!
