Bilateral Mastectomy BOOKED !
I am soooo grateful and relieved ! .... grateful for our public health system and relieved that my request for a bilateral mastectomy was not challenged - it was granted. Surgery is booked for 30 Jul...

I just wanted to wish you all the best for your bilateral surgery on 30th July. I also had bilateral mastectomy as a preventative measure 2 years ago, and also opted for no reconstruction immediately (and now feel quite comfortable without it.) There was no pain after the surgery due to the wonderful meds for the first couple of days, and after that Panadol was quite enough. I spent 4 days in hospital (under suffrance as I wanted to go home earlier) and left with one drain still in for another 24 hours. With your very busy lifestyle I thought this might be useful information! My scar is a fine white line, and my wonderful husband is happy with whichever choice I want to make. A plus is that exercise is so much easier without a large bust - and my 4 sons tell me that it looks very youthful (bless their hearts) - I have never regretted the decision and think I will stay de-constructed (sounds like a salad!). It just happens to suit me personally. Keep in touch. Michelle xxx
