Re: Prophylactic Mastectomy?

Hi Fun
I had my right breast removed in 2005 because of the cancer. I waited
quite awhile (years) and then had my left breast removed. I never wanted reconstruction and I found it very difficult to have only one breast. I also worried about mammo results etc. I am very happy with my decision.
