Answers:
It took me 5 months to get a diagnosis of breast cancer. I am 31 so the breast tissue was very dense and I had 2 clear mammograms even though I could see and feel the lump. Then the core biopsy came back clear after the doctor missed the lump. I'm just unlucky! When I was told I needed to have my right breast removed I decided to have the left one off also to save all the mucking around if the cancer ever developed in the other breast.

It is almost impossible for the surgeon to remove all of the breast tissue, traces of it remain. The breast tissue extends into your armpit and includes the lymph nodes, so you can also get breast cancer under your arm. That aside, removing the breasts does reduce the risk considerably, my surgeon said it drops it back to 1% or less than that!

Bilateral mastectomy isn't something you'd want to do unless you really felt you had to because although it isn't very painful there is a lot of psychological impact. The saline tissue expander reconstructions look amazing. I'm waiting until I finish chemo and feel better before I have reconstruction, which I'm finding difficult. If you had a reconstruction at the same time as the mastectomy it might be easier to cope with.Health Question & Answer

Its called Prophylactic Mastectomy I'm not sure of recurrence, but since they remove all inside lobes and ducts, I shouldn't think there is much chance of cancer. Besides, I think insurance pays for reconstruction so you can get a new permanently perky pair.Health Question & Answer
