Baring their Scars - To reconstruct or not?

Here's a moving short film about 3 breast cancer survivors who had to made different difficult decisions about reconstruction - a subject pretty close to my heart as January (one year after radiation and appointment with surgeon) approaches.

I was a bit disappointed to see that the woman who'd chosen a reconstruction seemed very sad but she did have implants so maybe that's much more 'artificial'.  However, what is natural about having part of your body chopped off and replaced I ask myself!
