Renate 

bless you it’s a hard decision , o had a lunpectomy opted for a masectomy but was told no .

however looking back the right choice was made my one boob is smaller but not hardley noticeable , I also had full lymph removal auxiliary node clearance in a 2 nd operstion removing 30 nodes I would have been far much happier getting it done in one operation but my nodes came back ckear in biopsy but after operation there was a trace in one so had to have2 nd op 

xid they give option of lunpectomy or masectomy ? 

love Lara xx 

Hi Renate,I was told to have mastectomy on left side and lumpectomy on right . Had total axillary clearance on left as a second op,I decided to have bilateral mastectomies,as I felt happier doing this and being even . No pain at all ,only took occasional Panadol .I am going for reconstruction soon , a year after my op. Best wishes R

how is your arm after full node clearance can I send you a friend request ? X 

Hello Renate,all good with me thanks .Had lymphclearance in the October last year .Did the exercises and massaged the arm as I had been told . I make sure not to get any cuts or injuries on this hand ,wearing gloves when gardening as well as using a glove when I cut raw meat .So far I haven’t had any swelling ,the upper arm is slightly numb .Yes ,a friend request is fine .Best wishes R x
