Hard decision
Well after a four week wait for genetic testing results, inconclusive!
I hadn't realised how much I had been counting on these results. I broke down. It made me think more though. I knew what I was go...

I had to make a similar decision. I was diagnosed with non invasive DCIS in my left breast. Given my family history I opted for a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction. This was not an easy decision and took us a couple of weeks to come to terms with and agree that it was the right option. It meant that I would never be able to breastfeed which is something that I would have liked to have experienced. One of the benefits was that I got to upsize!
I had my surgery 7 months ago now and I am very happy with the decision that I made and have no regrets. I don't think that I would be able to handle going through the surgery and recovery all over again if I had one side done. My life has started to return to normality after 5 months so it has been a long road. Although it seems so long ago that it all happened.
I am still getting used to my new implants and learn something new about them all the time eg what my body likes and dislikes about them.
Take each day as it comes and you will get there.
