I’m a 0 stage and am planning on double mastectomy in June due to radiation that I received many years ago for treatment of Hodgkins that is causing DCIS. I’m 64. Scary

Don't be frightened. I had to have one breast with partial mastectomy so the other side was done as well. I went from about an F to an A. You'll have drains for a little bit but once those are out, you'll be more comfortable. It was a bit depressing at first losing part of my body but I don't really look back anymore - it has all worked out just fine.
