Hi there @Nan I’m hearing you. I was diagnosed may 2016 with triple neg bc. Had 8 rounds of chemo finished in oct 2016 had the left boob off so I didn’t have to have chemo as well as radiation then when I finished chemo I took the other boob off as a preventative. Like @Afraser said everyone is different. But I trusted my gut on getting both off and have no regrets. And yes we all have that fear of recurrence somewhere else but I wanted to reduce the risk as much as possible but insaying that I had minimal issues with my surgery only a seroma to the non cancer side that needed drainage and iv antibiotics. So no hesitation for me getting the other one lopped.also means no more mammograms etc   I have to see the oncol every 3 months for th first 3 years and yes I get the shits every time I go as does my hubby as it’s a ongoing reminder  of this shitty disease. It is the gift that keeps on giving isn’t it. Trust your guts when it comes to what to do love. I had the right one off as a private patient in the public system as it wasn’t considered necessary and  only a few hundred out of pocket as well which was good. You are defiantly not alone love. Margie.  Xx
