Good Morning
My name is Maura and I have breast cancer. Due to my age and family history I will be having a double mastectomy in November 2023.
I am wondering how all of the breast cancer survivors are doing today.
My thoughts and prayers are with all.

Good morning Maura
I’ve had breast cancer 3x. I had a double mastectomy in 2017. Chose not to do reconstruction flat is beautiful!!! Best of luck to you! You will do great!
Maura,
I had a double mastectomy in January of this year. I didn’t have reconstruction. I am doing really well and was surprised that I wasn’t in much pain after the surgery. I was able to take a slow walk about 10 days after, as well. You will do fine. You may want to bring a pillow or something to place between your chest and the seatbelt for the ride home. I will say a prayer for you now.

Maura my thoughts and prayers are with you for your upcoming surgery. I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma and Pagets of the nipple in March. I decided to have a bilateral mastectomy after having a lumpectomy because my pathology was not good. I’m glad I did, but probably one of the most emotional decisions I’ve made. I just had reconstruction two weeks ago. Hopefully my battle is coming to an end. Stay strong !! 🙏🏼💕
