Share Your Thoughts

Will you or did you opt out of reconstruction?
Megan, 58, chose not to have breast reconstruction because her cancer was aggressive and she didn’t want to be in and out of tests all the time, worrying about a recurrence. She's very happy about her decision and actually likes the way she looks without breasts.
