Hi there lovey. I had triple neg last year aged 43 stage 2a grade 3 (3 cm) no family history negative for the gene all scans clear 8 rounds of chemo and hell yes I took them both off but only because my gut told me to. I had it in the left boob and could of had lumpectomy chemo and rads but decided on mastectomy then I didn’t have to have radiation. Then I took the other boob off 6 months later. Only regret I have sometimes is I didn’t have the immediate recon. It doesn’t bother me having no boobs but it means more surgery now in the future and more time off work. So I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. I totally trusted my gut and have no regrets. If I had your history I wouldn’t hesitate to be honest and if it means no treatment and you can get on with life sooner I would do it absolutely. Always trust your gut and do what you feel is best for you lovey. Everyone is different and everyone’s had a different journey. It’s a tough decision no doubt about it but whatever you decide you will get through it. Keep us posted. Biggest hug Margie xx
