A thought for I Miss Her Boobs (hubby of breast-cancer survivor): Turn off the light.

As a woman, I think you went a tad too easy on IMHB's wife--understandably, though, given what she's been through. She had my total support until he mentioned that she'll wear prosthetic breasts to formal functions.
If she's doing that at his request, then fine, that's the best compromise she can make at this time. However, if she's doing it because she wants to look nice in front of others, then I have to wonder why she doesn't care more about looking nice in front of (and the associated emotional response of) her husband than a bunch of comparative strangers.
Obviously, plastic surgery is surgery, so that's a difference. But it still seems an unfortunate place to stop caring about how one's physical appears affects others--not wrong, just misprioritized.
Just the thoughts of a woman who (fortunately) ...
Hasn't Been There

IMHB and his wife should give fun and games with padded bras a try. Leaving an item of clothing or two on is kinda sexy anyway. And if she'll wear 'em to weddings, surely she'd consider wearing 'em to bed once in a while. It's temporary--she doesn't have to live with it all the time or deal with the surgical risks.
There are also fancier falsies available which, with a bra, might do the job a whole lot better for him. With any luck she'll be okay with that on a regular basis. But if we view this as his kink, then he should consider offering to follow your "one time out of three" rule.

I'm not going to bother pointing out IMHB's obvious character flaws, nor am I going to berate you for your response. There will be plenty of that going on without me chiming in.
What I do want to say is that my sister-in-law went through the same ordeal, only in her case she opted for the reconstructive surgery. After more than a year of fighting recurring infections, she died of a stroke--brought on I'm sure as a complication of all the crap that had been done to her.
My wife and I have talked it over, and if she ever (dog forbid) has to go through a mastectomy, there's no way I will support her having reconstructive surgery afterward.
