Just an update on diagnosis and decision, it’s not known yet if I will need radiotherapy or chemo so the advice from surgeon was SMX or DMX with prospect of reconstruction at a later date. It’s been a tough decision but having a bilateral mastectomy next Friday. Can’t deal with one breast as size D and mentally for me being flat on one side would be to hard. This was a very hard decision and I hope I can cope with going flat (budda tummy) if I can’t I do have option of reconstruction later in the year depending on pathology reports on lymph nodes etc. Could have risked immediate reconstruction with breast reduction in other side but the longer recovery and unknown risks of further treatment was too much for me. Hoping I can live with this decision and cope ok🙏🏻 Thank you to all the warriors on this site, you are amazing!
