Reconstruction or not?
Hello, Two years ago I was diagnosed with BC and had a lumpectomy, radiation and tamoxifen. Last week I received the news that I have 2 separate cancers in the other breast. Both Her2, one hormone...
Good luck on Friday @rladdley
I’m 55. I was due to have my recon at the same time as my single mastectomy in April but this was cancelled due to covid.
Turned out to be a blessing in disguise......I’m now considering having a mastectomy on the other side for peace of mind and going flat. Just want to get on with my life. I wear a prosthetic if I feel like it.
Its hard not to get get caught up in the rush when your head is spinning at diagnosis. My advice is don’t rush into a decision.
My onco reckons you’ve arrived at a decision when you wake up every day and are sure. I’m 98% sure :)
