Single or double mastectomy?
On the 27th of March this year I was manning a stand at the Every Woman Expo. Our stand was right next to the breast screen truck. I’m 46 years old, no family history and had been told in a health ass...
Thank you, @Pru for that link (above).
I had an emergency single mastectomy (non skin or nipple sparing) but as I am a 'worrier' I wish I'd been told of the possibility of a double as the annual checks make me anxious.
My surgeon does not do reconstruction and way after the event I was doing research and sort of decided to go back for DIEP and as that can only be done once I would have had both done.
Unfortunately life has got in the way so I remain lopsided.
