Newly diagnosed Can I opt for a double mastectomy

Can I opt for a double mastectomy

Offline Lionetty over 6 years ago

Hi

I was diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday in my right breast. So will be having a mastectomy in a months time.

I would like to ask if anyone knows if its possible to request a double mastectomy to reduce my chances of it reoccurring.

Thanks

Lynette
