Preventative Mastectomy
Hello everyone not sure if there is a group for this yet. I am considering preventative Mastectomy. Would be great if anyone here has had this done just for a friendly chat..Hope its ok to start a new...
@SoldierCrab did you not have one breast removed that was for preventative reasons ?
I chose a bilateral mastectomy (actually suggested by the surgeon) and reconstruction given my family history. I could have had a quite deforming lumpectomy (lose nipple and a lot of breast..) but due to detection issues I wasn't interested in that.. (clear mammogram 5 weeks before... cancer invisible due to breast density)
You may like to join the reconstruction group.
