Double or single mastectomy

Hi, I had no choice and needed a right side mastectomy.  Everyone is different but I never hesitated from the very beginning to have a double mastectomy.  I was questioned by my specialist and again by breast surgeon as to the reason why I wanted this.  I think they didn't want me making emotional decisions that I might regret - in my case I have never regretted the surgery.  I had a history of cysts and would probably have freaked out if I had found a lump in my remaining breast. Also symmetry was aIso a consideration - I have breast prosthesis in my bra which are provided at no cost every two years I have been told, but can also opt to go bra less if I choose. I will hopefully have breast reconstruction surgery before Christmas.  It is personal choice just make sure you are aware of the options.  I personally had no problems recovering after surgery.  Good Luck xxx
