2nd Diagnosis
I have just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer for the second time. The 1st time was 10 years ago at age 44. My treatment involved lumpectomy, chemo, radiotherapy and Tamoxifen. I only took Tamoxifen...
Hi Chris, thanks for responding. I have just had a phone conversation with my breast surgeon which has upset me. Although he says he will support my decision if I choose to have a bilateral mastectomy he is doing his best to talk me out of it. I really feel I owe it to myself to minimise the risk of this happening for a third time. He is concerned that I will regret my decision - I think I will regret it if I decide not to go ahead. I understand that there are no guarantees whatever I decide but ultimately it is my decision and no one elses.
I am pleased that you have no regrets with your decision, peace of mind is very important. Thanks again for your support, Regards, Linda
