I've seen photos of other mastectomy patients who have decided to do something different, more beautiful and make their scars (which go right across the breast for mastectomies) less obvious or replace them with something that, albeit is still a daily reminder of their cancer, is also a daily reminder of what they CHOSE to do rather than what they could not choose when faced with breast cancer. I'm not sure what I feel about it other than if it makes that person feel better about themself and what they've been through, then it can only be a really good thing. A body change that we've chosen is something entirely different to a body change that was imposed and unwanted.
I personally have not (should we say yet because you never know with this disease) had to have a mastectomy and hope never to be faced with this, although I was faced with it back in September and a clever plastic surgeon helped me avoid it, for the moment, at least.
So, good luck to this lady and her personal choice and more power to her.
