Hello, I just had prophylactic double mastectomy for LCIS about 3 weeks ago. I opted for no reconstruction. It wasn’t too bad. I didn’t feel much pain at all, even from day 1 post op. I didn’t want reconstruction due to the extra time that I would have to spend in the operating room and the potential to bleed more. I already have low platelets. Now, the concern going forward for me is how is monitoring going to be done now that mammogram won’t be possible to catch anything early given that there may be about a 10% breast tissue remaining. MRI is not going to be possible either. So the only monitoring tool is using your fingers to feel for lumps afterwards. Anyways, that is the biggest concern for me at this point. Hope it’s can help you in making your decision.
