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

Hi Lynette,

I hope you are feeling better. I have just been diagnosed with breast cancer and would also like a double mastectomy, I have my surgical consultation later this week.

Did you succeed in getting your wish of a double mastectomy, if so, how?

many thanks
