Double Mastectomy: to reconstruct or not?
Hi Everyone, I went through surgery last September + re-excision on October for Stage 1 bilateral disease. Lots of DCIS with a very small invasive component. I have avoided Chemo/Radio for the time...

Hi Jen, I am 57 & had single mastectomy last year, nearly finished chemo & then starting radio. In July I am having a mastectomy on the other side & reconstruction of both. I can't wait to get the other one done but that is just for my own reassurance & hate having 1 breast. As for reconstruction I want to feel a bit normal again & want a cleavage. There are a lot of my dresses I can't wear at the moment also looking at the scar is a reminder every day. But it is a huge procedure so am thinking very carefully about it at the moment. Good luck with your decision xx
