My journey heading to double mastectomy

@butterfly40 I am currently recovering 4 weeks today from a single mastectomy/ immediate diepflap reconstruction. This has come 15 months after my Chemo finished but as a result of a recurrence in my left breast. Like you I did all my homework prior, I was only ER+ IDC 2.5cm, zero node involvement, wide excision, BRACA Gene negative. Genetic Counsellors only recommended in my case a single. So I totally get you how difficult it would be with your diagnosis and now no choice, had my gene testing been positive double is what I would have done.  The op is lengthy it took 7hrs, the first week is pretty tough I wont lie, but once I got home I improved everyday. Have you joined the private group of Breast Reconstruction?? Ive recently posted my story there. Its amazing how fantastic the Plastic Surgery is these days. I have a revision yet to do to match my boobs but I am astounded at how great already I look and a new tummy LOL. Definitely have a look at the group, lots of stories to sift through, very helpful!
