Hi, Reading Tanya's blurb dated September, I also don't know why we can't have a double mastectomy, so many women I know have had cancer in one breast, had surgery then 4 - 6 years later had cancer...
I also wanted a double but surgeon said we could do the other one next year with reconstruction both sides so have agreed to this. Radiation Oncologist stressed your breasts are totally separate entities & cancer can't travel from one to the other but I would like to reduce risk anyway.
