Hi Fiona, Just read your post and know how you are feeling. I was 28 when diagnosed with DCIS in one breast in 2008. I choose to have both removed also as i had 2 mamograms and ultrasounds which showed nothing.
i didn't want to go through it all again if it chose to rear its ugly head. My husband didnt want me to have both off (although he supported my decision) and even one of my Dr's said he thought i was doing the wrong thing. But in the end it was my decision and it gave me alot of assurance throughout the last couple of years.
Good luck in your surgery tomorrow. Take care of yourself. It is all worth it. In 6mths you will feel normal again. Keep us up to date on how you are doing.
Regards,
Megan
