I was diagnosed just 16 days ago and the Drs are saying that I need a mastectomy. It just seems so quick. I think I'm cool with it am thinking if they're going to take one they may as well take both s...
I was in the same boat earlier this year. I was supposed fo have a single mastectomy, but decided to have a double and I am currently flat.

I am very happy with my decision and would love to talk to you about my experience if you would like.
I had my surgery done by a breat cancer surgeon and she did a great job.
