Mastectomy this Thursday..
I am booked in for a single mastectomy (followed by chemo and radio) this Thursday. I tried to discuss with my surgeon the possibility of removing both breasts at the same time, one being preventative...
@Fernweh I just remembered if you are operated on both breasts whether lumpectomies or mastectomy they require you to stay over 2 nights, for one breast, one night. Ask your surgeon and see if you can stay one night with the operation on both breasts, if their "damn" hospital beds are so precious, and see what the reaction is. I would get to the bottom of this if you can.
Perhaps don't use the word "damn".. heehee. All the best, and let us know how you go. Please try not to stress, but hearing your story and the lack of information you have received does get me a bit annoyed that you have to go through all this.
