Hi Sue
I had a very similar diagnosis to yours. I knew straight up that I wanted both off. I know you understand the low chance of the other breast getting cancer and I did too but I still wanted both off to avoid future worry of mammograms but also simply for symmetry in reconstruction. I had my bilateral mastectomy 4 weeks ago.Have started the recon process. I'm really pleased with my decision. Still, everyone really needs to make their own decisions. You have the added issue of distance to consider too of course. Anyway, please feel free to ask me any questions if you go down a similar path to me. I know that I found it really helpful coming here and seeking out people who were a few steps ahead of me.
All the best.
Sonya
