Thanks Karen and i have my journey kit and have been reading but I am leaning towards double mastectomy as i have the BRCA1 Gene and if i have the cancer taken out and some lymph nodes that they have to test even if the lymph nodes turn out that they do not have cancer I still think to myself that if i have the double mastectomy i will not get breast cancer again as i am at a higher risk with the gene of getting more breast cancer. I said i will not think of mastectomy unless i ended up getting breast cancer and it has happened and I know it will be hard going through having a double mastectomy and then reconstruction but if it saves me getting more breast cancer it would be worth it won't it. But anyway i am going to my doctor tomorrow and bringing my mum with me for support to talk about everything and see what he says about it all.
