Re: Decision Time - Need Advice
Hi, I was diagnosed 6 years ago today! I was 45 and had Grade 2 ER+ Her2+ one lymph node+ and 2.75cm tumour...before I even knew pathology I had decided I wanted bilateral mastectomy and nobody was going to change my mind :-) I also had radiotherapy on cancer side.
I don't use any prosthesis and am very happy with my appearance. I had a friend who had recurrence on her chest wall and I like the fact that I can just take my hand over entire area and feel for any lumps or bumps!
I live in Scotland and have spoken to quite a few patients who were refused a mastectomy never mind bilateral.
Good luck with whatever you decide
