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
