Yes, the Washington Post did write an article about how terrible it is that so many women are hysterically and needlessly opting for bilateral mastectomies. It made me nuts, as so many articles in the Washington Post do. I wrote my first letter to the editor to the Post and it was published (but not before three Washington Post editors emailed and called me repeatedly trying to discover my hidden agenda. Neither they nor I could uncover one.)
The following are links to the original article and my letter to the editor. I for one have never ever regretted having had the bilateral mastectomy for all of the reasons the others have stated. I wish you the best as you make your very personal decision. Please trust your gut.
