Hi Naomi
I had lumpectomy and SNB last year. Results came back triple negative and not clear margins (less than a mm). I opted to not delay chemo and had bilateral mastectomy once chemo finished.
In between found out also carried BRCA2 gene, was not a surprise as have a strong family history bc and gene positive. Long before diagnosis I had decided that I would have both removed if i got bc.
I have now finished all treatment chemo, surgery, radiation and have no regrets with my decision to remove both. Have yet to decide on reconstruction.
You need to do what's right for you, it's a personal decision. All the best for surgery and for the rest of your treatment
