I just read your story and it is really to bad that none of you doctors told you about a surgery called "skin sparing" mastectomy, where the save the outer layer of your breast skin so that an implant can easily be inserted. More women with breast cancer need to ask about all options of reconstruction before having to go through what you are going through.
