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?

It's complicated. Implants are not forever. 20-30 years and then have them changed cause when they turn 40 they could maybe self destruct on the inside. Or some illness could arise from the material of said implants. Always keep in mind: Underneath it all - It's never about the size of your chest but rather that of the heart you've been blessed with. Unpopular opinion but I would probably have them both removed. Then get tatted with something special across my chest. Maybe like >>https://media.self.com/photos/57d87fc350778cef321a425a/4:3/w_2560%2Cc_limit/Screen-Shot-2016-09-07-at-6.07.19-PM.png or >https://hips.hearstapps.com/rbk.h-cdn.co/assets/15/20/480x381/gallery-1431364420-breast-cancer-survivors-mastectomy-tattoos-art-4.jpg?resize=480:* The reason for this is just to avoid any future scare or added operation. Plus somehow I know I would miss them from time to time but I could get a special bra with prosthesis.I am sure you will do what is right for you. Go with your inner voice. At the end of the day, your body is but an extension of something much greater. <3 (Fingers crossed life doesn't alter your life with any illness -and you be safe now and forever more)
