Thanks for these suggestions! I’m scheduled for a double mastectomy on 8/28. No reconstruction. I feel confident about deciding on this risk reducing surgery but my immediate family is not completely on board. Am wondering if others have experienced this situation.
I am 1 year post lumpectomy having had stage 1 lobular cancer. 3 weeks of radiation which I tolerated well. I’ve had a persistent seroma at incision site (9 aspirations, 2 attempts at external drains) so the next step would be surgery to remove the seroma. For peace of mind I’m opting for what my family feels is extreme surgery.
I appreciate having this forum!
