Hi everyone,
My name is Sandra and was diagnosed with very early breast cancer in Nov 13.
Wide Local excision of L breast lesion and sentinel node biopsy Dec 13. Clear margins and lymph nodes were fine. Found another 1mm lump which was a different type to the 1st lump detected. At followup we decided the best option was to have a mastectomy which for me is the best option.Surgery will be in 2 weeks time. I have now decided for various reasons to have the R breast removed as well and will be discussing with breast care nurse and surgeon tomorrow.
So much information to take in regarding recovery, wearing a prosthesis, reconstruction etc kind of doing my head in but I have the support of family and friends so just taking one day at a time.
Would like to hear from other women who have decided to have their healthy breast removed as a preventative measure.
Great to have BCNA available will b good support.
Cheers
Sandra
