Ceesun,

I had a bilateral mastectomy. At first I was considering immediate reconstruction but when I had my initial biopsy done the surgeon also biopsied a lymph node under my arm that was bothering me. The lymph node showed cancer. Therefore, I knew that I would require radiation and have to wait until at least six months after completion of radiation to have reconstruction. I did not have reconstruction and have no intention of doing so. I'm happy with this decision and very rarely even wear my "fake" boobs. I was a "D" cup before all this happened and I must say I've happily adjusted to being flat chested. Having reconstruction or not is strictly a personal matter and one that only you can make. It has to be a decision that you will be comfortable with. Whatever your decision I wish you luck.
