Profilatic mascetomy

Wow Katie, well done you. Glad to hear you sounding so positive. I am booked to have a prophylactic mastectomy following my previous lumpectomy(3 years ago) and eventual mastectomy(from a recurrence 2 years ago) on May 1st. I am having a double reconstruction from an abdominal flap at the same time. I feel really positive about it as it has been 2 years in the planning. I am not very big and as I can't have implants due to radiation I will have only small breasts. I will be more than happy with them. I am glad I waited as my surgeon at the time wanted to put implants in and I think at the time I would have said ok. Now that I have had time to do my research I realize that they are not the best option for me because of my radiation. It's funny how you accept your new shape. I was shocked by how only having one breast did not totally freak me out. I just accepted it. If I did not decide to have my other one off I may not have bothered with the reconstruction. My kids and husband were also accepting which made life easier as well. I have had nothing but support about my upcoming surgery. Good luck with whatever decision you make. The only right one is what is right for you. I hope your healing continues well. Big hugs to you Paula
