I had bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction done one surgery. I didn't have cancer in tbe ither breast but opted it anyway. I woukdnt hesitate if I had in both. Yes hard to accept. But often eopke who have bilateral possibly carry a faukry gene. I don't think I coukd cope knowing mire coukd be growing.
Sometimes it's dcis and extensively through the breast. So best option is removal. Let the tears flow. It's normal to feel scared and starting to grieve for what you will lose. But you can get through this. We are living proof. Kath x
