Double or single mastectomy
Hi All I am about to turn 50, happy birthday me! I have just been diagnosed with breast cancer. They say a lumpectomy with radiation will do, but that is what they said to my sister and it came back...
I was 51 at diagnosis and chose a double following an Aunt getting a second primary in other breast (brac1 mutation) and mine was difficult to detect. I chose immediate tissue exoander reconstruction and happy with outcome. Whilst I don't carry the gene I am happy with my choice.
