I had a preventative double mastectomy in late 2017 after I found out I had brca2 gene. They removed all internal breast tissue from both breasts and kept my nipples. I had reconstruction at the same time with implants which failed due to necrosis of the skin, so I had to have the implants removed and lost one of the nipples.
I now have a pink/red small circular patch of skin with a red 'blood' spot in the middle close to my remaining nipple. It's not on the nipple but on the skin. It is dry and scaly. I've had it for at least a year and to be honest I never really thought much of it because I've had the preventative surgery already.
I'm just wondering what are the chances of getting breast cancer after a mastectomy? And does this sound like something I should be concerned about?
My sister died 2 months ago from breast cancer that spread to her brain, which could have been prevented if she wasn't too scared to get the genetics blood test, so this has made me more cautious
