Hi, so sorry to hear of those who have had re occurrence of cancer. I had cancer last year, had a left mastectomy and immediate reconstruction done. all worked well. but as some of you have said hindsight is a wonderful thing. I wish I had gone with a double mastectomy when I was diagnosed, I did suggest it but was told it was extreme. so now I have the worry of 6 monthly or 12 monthly mammograms and if I get cancer again (and the chances are 1 in 6) more surgery, and at as I will be older, I may not recover so quickly. plus a reconstruction, they used my stomach tissue the first time so what can they use next time if they need to. and yes of course I want to stay positive and assume I won't get a reoccurrence but ...... hindsight....
