We're pretty much freakasaurs of the animal kingdom for our size. You women not only have breasts ahead of needing them, you're also receptive for mating whether any eggs are ready to go or not. We're weird.
If you're interested in the subject you could read Jared Diamond's book The Third Chimpanzee which talks about genital sizes among the great apes and why humans probably developed such strange genitals. For example, your average male human has very conspicuous genitals compared with the average male gorilla, whose genitals are small enough to not even really be that visible. Why the disparity?
Read the book, it's really interesting.
Funny enough, I picked it up this year and read through that part at least. Wasn't impressed with the book on the whole, a little too sales-pitchy, I thought.

Which means no ability to breastfeed, ever, because all the connections are severed.... as well as all the nerves.
It must suck to loose all sensation on there.
Yes, whatevs, the nipple thing is for real. They're removed and then reattached or kept attached and, like, sewn around to reshape the breast... if you really want to know, google it, but be prepared for some gnarly stuff.
As for sensation loss, I'm in for that whether I get reconstruction or not. Reconstructed breasts (post mastectomy) are numb, as can be a flat chest if you don't get reconstruction. /fun fact
Well there you have it, the wonders of modern medicine.
This hits a little close to home for you. Somehow I think you'd be able to handle any body-image adjustments which may be necessary. Just get well, get strong and everything else will sort itself out.
