Confirmed BRCA2 gene carrier, 29 year old. Reconstructive surgery discussion re:surgeons etc
Hello everyone, I am 29 years old. I got tested and carry the BRCA2 gene after my aunty developed ovarian cancer. I am pretty confident and sure I would like to proceed down the preventative bilateral mastectomy route. I am in fact a nurse but have been living in England for the last 4 years. I plan to come home next year for my 30th and reconstruction! what an event to enter my 30th year! Please can anyone recommend any fantastic preferably female oncoplastic breast surgeons in Melbourne? Public or private. Has anyone done the same this as me and have had a preventative mastectomy? I would love to get in contact with someone in the same boat as me. Thanks :)ViewsSign in to react to this postComments
bilateral mastectomy then immediate reconstruction results
I have just finished chemo and now deciding on surgery. I am having a bilateral mastectomy with nipple removal and then immediate reconstruction with implants. Has anyone had this with the implant over the muscle? Did they look ok? Also then had radiotherapy after? Where you happy with the result? How many other surgeries did you have? I am having a hard time picturing it and aligning my expectations with what can be done. Worried I will not be satisfied and it will affect me emotionally as I have been coping ok with breast cancer diagnosis until now.ViewsSign in to react to this postComments
