Q. is there another option? we have been learning about this in my health class and im jjust wondering. and also could you get breast implants to replace your lost breast, and would they be able to replace the nipple and aerolia too?
A. The surgery recommended depends on the individual's particular cancer; the size of the tumour and whether the cancer has spread to lymph nodes are just some of the factors taken into consideration when deciding whether to recommend mastectomy (removal of the breast) or lumpectomy.
I had a mastectomy. Given the position of my tumour, a lumpectomy probably wouldn't have had very satisfactory results aesthetically, but the main reason for removing my breast was that in addition to the tumour and cancerous lymph nodes, the breast had widespread ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), which means precancerous cells.
Breast reconstruction is a possibility in many cases, which can include a 'nipple'; and some people choose to have areola tattooed onto the reconstructed breast.
I personally decided against reconstruction. What many people don't realise is that breast reconstruction is a huge operation, much more so than a mastectomy. It is major surgery that takes many hours to complete (between 9 and 14 hours depending on the type of reconstruction was the information I had & years ago), and is not always successful - I have known a few women whose reconstructed breasts had to be removed - more surgery. I decided once under the knife was enough for me.
Why on earth were they teaching you about breast cancer in health class? Are they also teaching you about prostate cancer and Alzheimer's - two more conditions that you won't have to worry about until you are very, very much older.
We are always seeing questions on here from teenage girls terrified they have breast cancer because of lessons in school.
I hope whoever delivered your class gave you these facts: breast cancer is almost unheard of in under 25s, a girl aged 16 - 19 has less than a one in one million chance of developing it (which means that she is statistically more than twice as likely to be struck by lightning), and the risk to a girl under 16 is statistically zero.
Fewer than 0.1% of all those diagnosed with breast cancer are under 30, and only 5% are under 40. Most (80%) are over 50 and the average age at diagnosis is a little over 60.
I also very much hope they told you that at your age you should NOT be doing breast checks - they'll tell you nothing and worry you unnecessarily. The American Cancer Society and all other responsible and reputable cancer organisations recommend that women begin breast self examination at no younger than 20, if then; and some cancer professionals say 30. Before that it's pointless; firstly because there are so many hormonal changes that there is no 'normal' - and self examination is about a woman knowing what's normal for her and reporting any changes. And secondly because the chance of breast cancer is almost nil.

Tattoo care question does this matter?
Q. I'm getting a tattoo under my breast.
like right below my bra or right under it
My questions are
1)Will it look stupid because I'm small chested?
2)Is it best If I go bra less as much as possible when the tattoo is healing
3)My phrase is 7 words long,what font size is best to not look to small or to large
thanks

How so?

A. 1. Personally I find that sort of tattoo more visually appealing on a woman that isn't as "top heavy" so to speak. I feel the tattoo stands out better on models with a smaller chest size in that location.
2. If you can it'll help- You don't want anything rubbing against the tattoo while it's healing.
3. I would speak with your artist in regards to this- He or she can help you choose a font large enough it'll not blur with time, but not so large that it will look less appealing. Personally I would try for something where all 7 words fit under your breast at a slight curve, but it's your tattoo and your decision. Your tattoo artist will be able to tell you what will work and what will not, and be able to give you ideas on what will be more visually appealing based on the tattoo and your body.
