Double Mastectomy????
Hi all, ok I have a question, I have decided to go with a double mastectomy when chemo ends. My question is because they take lymph nodes out and blood cannot be take from the arms when this happens...

You have blood taken on the side where no nodes taken - so your "good" breast side
I also decided on bilateral mastectomy, it was a hard decision but 4 wks later now (after surgery) and I'm doing ok :)
Getting prostheses was prob easier getting both sides as I don't have to match a real breast
Good luck ??
