Hi all,
Has anyone had breast cancer in one breast and had a double mastectomy?
I'm asking because I was told I had breast cancer but that it was a 10mm tumour (based on mammogram and Ultrasound). So I had a wide local excision and Sentinal Node biopsy. They removed a 53mm tumour and also discovered that I have DCIS.
So I'm now waiting for a mastectomy. The thing is I'm only 43 so will have quite a few years of having mammograms and I now don't have much faith in the mammograms given that it had missed DCIS. I potentially have 40 years of having mammograms ahead of me and I don't think I can cope with the worry.
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
I'm just thinking myself in circles here.
