I am so pleased you are happy with your results after surgery with Dr French @Growlcat They used to do mastectomies straight up until a couple of decades ago .... with dense breast tissue, as I have too, we just need to be extra vigilant from now on tho.
For your annual checkups, some ‘tick sheets’ to help you put your questions together for your medical team. (Click the docs at the bottom) and highlight the questions you want to cover.

take care and all the best for your yearly checkup xx
