Bilateral mastectomy

I too started with a lumpectomy but they did not get it all and was told I could have another lumpectomy of mastectomy. To avoid having to go back and forth I got the mastectomy on one side. Having worn a prosthesis for two years (the time has gone very quickly) I am totaly sick of it. Honestly I did not notice it so much during recovery but now I am better I am ready to have two new boobs as the one I have left is very large so off with it too. They are working on better reconstructions and I am looking into it. Problems from Radiotherapy damage is sometimes the bigger problem.  Talk to your oncologist who should make it clear by presenting you with percentages of benefits from procedures you can choose  then the surgeon. I considered most things that would prolong my life, the quality has not changed much, those who stuck by me I appreciate ten fold those who have not have lost my respect. Just some food for thought.
