Hi @MrsMac,
I also had a left mastectomy, chemo and radiation 7 years ago and then had my ovaries removed 2 years later. I just had my right breast removed 2 months ago after a scare with mammogram/ultrasound this year. No cancer was found thank goodness.
After I finished treatment back in 2013 I just did not want anymore surgery at that time. I managed very well for 7 years with the one but must say I am enjoying being ‘even’ now.
It is all such an individual thing and the main thing is to do what’s right for you at the time. I enjoy feeling well, fit and healthy, so for me, minimizing the surgery has always been my aim. I am happy with my choices. If you want to know any further details I am happy to personal message.
Best wishes with your decision.
