Watched my old x-ray photo of my breast cancer. If I would have had an amputation would I have let them rebuilt an artificial boob or not? Im not sure. Would you do it?

I'm no boobs expert but won't want to see you go for follow up appointments with the doctor yearly.Well if you have the money then its fine but someday I believes it need to be removed eventually

I think I might. My breasts are large, so I’m not sure I’d want to have one large breast and then none on the other side.

That must be kinda neat seeing that.

My only question is what purpose would an artificial boob serve? Maybe for body image and psychological issues, sure, but I wouldn't bother if it was me. I could save on bras if mine were removed.

it's a personal choice. but i've heard many women say how they look is attached to their self worth . I probably would

Yeah, I'm generally against anything artificial, including bodily manipulations, but in the case of mastectomy I think it's appropriate. A missing breast looks awful, and the fake breast is just replacing what was naturally there to begin with, so it's not really a lie regarding the person's genetics..
