Re: new and in need of advice...please x
Hi Heidi,
In my case, even though cancer was only on my left side, I decided on a double mastectomy for peace of mind. I have been fortunate so far with almost no issues after the surgery.
As Lien pointed, BRCA test would be an important factor in your decision making.
Take care,
shobha
