Due For Mammo, But Thinking About Prophylatic Masectomy

[RobinP]

Well, It's Time For The Dreaded Yearly Mammo, Although, RELUCTANT TO GET IT. The Reason, The Last Time I Had A Mammo Was A Disaster. I Went To Boston, Six Hours Away, For The Best Experience At Dana Farber Cancer Center, But The Tech Was Terrible. She Had To Repeat The Test, So I Got Double Radiation Exposure, Which Was Really Quadriple For Me Since I Have A Breast Implant That Requires An Extra Photo Exposure To View Behind The Implant. (GOT THIS IMPLANT ONLY To Match The New POST MASECTOMY BREAST Reconstruction SIDE). Well, Anyway, Beside All The Radiation Extra Exposure Due To The Implant CONCERNING ME, I Have Little Faith In Mammos Since My Breast Cancer Was Not Detected By Mammogram When I First Presented With A Breast Lump, Which Lead To A Fifteen Month BREAST CANCER Misdiangosis.

I'm thinking about having the Remaining Breast removed And Having The Implant Taken Out Of The Reconstructive Side due to my concern about mammograms. At This Point In My Life, I Don't Care About Boobs...in Fact I Hate Boobs- Those Dam Things That Cause Breast Cancer. DO YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND? ANYWAY, Has Anyone Gotten Double Masectomy Here And Feel Good For Having Done That? THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS AND HELP.
