Hi there,
Thank you for allowing me to join the group. I was diagnosed with Grade 3 Breast cancer back in March 2019. Not one but two little buggers in the right breast. Treatment so far has been bearable until I started the Docetaxel/chemo number 4 I could easily have given up a few days ago but I gave myself a little talking to and to remind myself that I’m nearly there with the chemo, 2 more to go 
I saw my Breast Consultant a few days ago and went through the procedure of my upcoming Mastectomy. Unfortunately I wasn’t 100% so I wasn’t really taking anything in but what I do remember is that I asked if I could have a DOUBLE mastectomy at the same time. I can’t bare the thought of the cancer returning in my other Breast plus the thought of just one breast would really get me down
She said that it would be best to wait a year before having the other breast removed as many woman regret having both done at the same time etc etc.
I’m 48, in a very happy marriage and I am not interested at all in having reconstruction.
All I want is to get on with my life as a woman with no breasts and not have to worry about the cancer returning.  
Has anyone been advised this before or demanded having both breasts done at the same time?
Many thanks ️
