I totally relate to @"Grandma of 7" and others and all your comments...I am in the same situation and when I talk to others who have had a bilateral mastectomy- I wish I had too as t the htought of BC popping up in the other one is ALWAYS there....
I am currently weighing up the decision to proceed with having the other one removed and grappling with the trauma of another operation ..it is such an individual decision and there is a lot to consider. Our ever reliable gut feelings though tend to guide us to the best decision...best of luck everyone with what you decide...and if we consider all options put on the table by our specialists and our inner voice the right decision will come to us..
much love to all Patricia xx
