Hey there, I am considering a prophylactic mastectomy too.
On New Yearβs Eve, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. I have a fast-growing, triple-negative tumour in my left breast that has spread to my lymph nodes. It requires six months of chemotherapy, a mastectomy and removal of my lymph nodes, and radiation therapy.
I have found treatment really tough (I am only halfway through the first leg of the triathlon!), and really don't want to ever have to do it all again. If you don't mind me asking, did you embrace flatness or do you wear prosthetics?
