Would you mind sharing why you are getting a 2nd mastectomy? I ask because I'm getting a single mastectomy in a few days and someone said maybe I should reconsider getting it on both sides...even though I don't have a genetic mutation.
I assumed I’d hate being breastless or that I’d be ashamed of my body in some new way after my first mastectomy, but I didn’t mind my flat side at all, and I wanted to be done with mammograms and ultrasounds and not wonder if I had invasive cancer hiding in my second breast that the scans couldn’t see-just like my first breast hid it. I also like the idea of being more symmetrical.
Thanks for making this
Sure! Thanks for your response!
