Hi Cheryl
I was diagnosed with LCIS earlier this year, and because I have a strong family history of breast cancer, I decided to go ahead with a double preventative mastectomy and reconstruction at the end of August. It is now just over 5 weeks since my surgery so I am mid way through the recovery period. I have found it all more challenging than expected, but am still glad I have done it, so as not to have the threat of breast cancer, and its treatment, hanging over my head.
Everyone's situation is unique to them. It is a very big surgery and recovery period, so it is an important decision to research and make with your doctors. I have started a blog so as my family & friends can follow my progress, but I thought others with similar conditions might be interested too. It is http://watermelonheartsblog.com/ ;and you can find more info in the 'about' and 'resources' tabs at the top of the home page.
I hope that is of help and wish you all the best with your reseach and decision making.
