Double or single?
Just wondering if anyone can give some insight into decision and living with a double mastectomy. I have a strong family history through the male side with 2 of my siblings (but not me) having a BRCA...

I am 12 days post op bilateral mastectomy with implants. I had a lumpectomy in 2011 prior to that i had chemo and another surgery to remove more lymph nodes (DCIS and hormone positive). This is a new cancer on the left breast I have chosen the double as the least down time and fingers crossed had not spread further which meant no chemo. Cancer has taken up too much of my life- i chose the least down time and am blessed no more cancer was found. I find there are many choices and you need to make what suits you and your lifestyle for this time. There is no wrong or right. But there certainly is pain to deal with, as is after any surgery. All the best with your choices.
