    cfrank,

    thanks for your reply. I too am a C cup and friends have asked how I will feel being lopsided. I say fine! I want to live life, not go thru more surgeries/recovery/PT etc, I'm sure it'll take some getting used to. But that's ok 😊

    i am so happy with no reconstruction. I was diagnosed on my left breast and there was NO WAY I was going to have just one breast removed. I had to fight with my Breast Surgeon - she was determined to for me to have one long droopy breast that hung to my belly button - I told her I couldn't look myself in the mirror everyday. She finally agreed and I had both removed. My upper back doesn't hurt anymore from the weight. I can wear cute little t-shirts. Life is good.

    Much as I miss the boobs, no, no regrets. Yes, many men will balk at a woman with no breasts, but reconstructed breasts rarely look "real" when naked, so even with recon, you need to have the "talk" before getting into bed. If recon could "pass" in a naked sitch, I would consider it perhaps. In everyday life, with clothes on, it really doesn't matter. Usually I wear a lightly padded bralette under my clothes, but even when I don't, people typically don't really notice. It is also great to be able to run etc. without boobs in the way, and I am glad to have skipped a bunch of additional surgeries, possible complications and all the rest of it.

    Barbara and Jaybird, that was a major concern for me. I had massive radiation, to the point that I have a permanent rad burn on my back. Even if I escaped major complications, there is no way they could have made both sides look the same, given the rads damage on the cancer side. And really, why should I go though numerous surgeries and risk painful complications just so men would maybe consider me F'able? (Pardon the directness, but ultimately that is what it is about, cause in clothes, it really doesn't matter if you stuff a bra or have 'built-ins'.) There is something seriously messed up in that equation.
