Hi,
thank you for sharing your experiences.  I do not have the gene, so that is why surgeon has not recommended double mastectomy.  I will do lots more research, and look into seeing a good plastic surgeon, I live in Brisbane.  I had not considered having a lift in the other breast, I guess given finding cancer, I just feel I want them off, but I do have to weigh up whether this in fact will lessen the risk of finding cancer in the future in the other breast.
thank you
