2015 I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer had a double Mastectomy
had many reconstruction since then now have a decent pair of bloobs with cleavage. In September 21 went for last check ready to be discharged from hospital did have a lump that I thought was the same as I was always under the impression having a mastectomy all the breast tissue taken out so the cancer was not coming back again in the breast as this wouldn't happen . It might return elsewhere but not in the breast however was I wrong.
It's back however it hasn't spread which is positive but I do have to have mastectomy without reconstruction so no implants
my first thought was too have double mastectomy which my surgeon agreed ( I am so Lucky have the same surgeon for 6 years )
my reason were obviously in case it comes back in the other breast and hides behind the implant I may not be so lucky.
my second reason was to be symmetrical because I snuggle with un - symmetrical objects
I also get pain in other side .
didn't want any more surgery
good reasons I felt hospital made me speak to a counsellor who agreed I'm sound body and mind am I able to make my own decisions now I'm doubting myself I don't know what to do operation is booked for Monday and I just want to walk away avoidance I know .
family and friends support my decision however I am so confused and wondered if anyone else had been in my dilemma and had any suggestions or strategies that helped make a decision
whatever I choose I will have to live with the decision .
I have been offered tummy tuck if I choose one if double will be flat .
not sure if I have to have chemo again radio is defo no no as had my Quoter previously
thanks in advance
