One Lump or Two?
One lump or two- hmmm. Surgeon seemed to think a prophylactic (preventative) mastectomy was OK but the reconstructive surgeon looked a bit amazed at the idea.

Have had a bilateral mastectomy as I had hoped to do. All went well and the expanders had quite a bit of saline in them when I woke up- almost the size my mini A cup had been. Worst part was the drains- one took a full two weeks until it could be removed. Four weeks after the surgery I went back to the PS and he did a fill. I am now a good B cup after only one fill and will stop at this size. I may never sleep on my side again! Surgery is next month to exchange expenders for silicone. No messing around eh!
The likelihood of lack of symmetry (which would have really bothered me) plus the chance of BC in the healthy breast were both issues for me. I am very happy I went with the bilteral.
