"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle, but I just wish he didn't trust me so much."

My mother-in-law asked me to post this:
I am on a Crusade to enlighten Women with Breast Cancer.
Is there any reason to keep one breast? I believe I made a terrible mistake by not having both breasts removed when one breast had to go. Now after many years, I realize I could have had any size breasts I wanted, starting over with any size cups I chose!
Reconstruction surgery is not the answer because, as you age, your body changes but the false part doesn't. Now at age 93 (we are living longer.) I have one large drooping breast and one prosthesis that is expensive, not that comfortable, and totally unnecessary. If I had been better informed at a younger age, when I was very confused and worried, I feel I would have made a different decisssion.
Think about it - is there any reason to keep one breast?

After she wrote this, my sister-in -law took Maxine to Nordstroms where they fitted her with a new prosthesis and she bought two new bras -courtesy of Medicare. Maxine is happy as Molly with a rib bone.
