@Grandma of 7, so glad you are doing well and found that sense of peace you were looking for. I opted for a DMX when I had cancer in just the left breast because I didn't want to spend the next 5 years waiting for the other breast to 'turn on me'. I also wanted a diep flap reconstruction so it made sense to do both and have that symmetry. The doctor didn't suggest it, I requested it 2 days before surgery. After I brought it up he said it was a wise decision because I had a 30% higher chance of the right breast getting BC! He didn't mention that at any time prior. I did my own research and came to my own conclusion. No looking back and completely happy I went the way I did. Speedy recovery and see you out the other side!!!
