Hi there
First post ever despite finding out about 10 years ago that I have BRACA 2. Hello everyone! So nice to find this supportive group
I have had a prophylatic nipple sparing mastectomy about 10 years ago and been getting pain in my nipples over the last few months (the only breast tissue left!) and doctors are refusing to offer me an MRI. They've just done ultra sound but the pain is still there. Just wondering if anyone out there has MRI screening even though they've had the risk reducing surgery?
Hi
sorry I can’t help, if I was you I’d try my doctors again and then
go private if they can’t help. I’ve had a double mastectomy but as I
had cancer I got rid of my nipples too. Could you ask to maybe get rid of your nipples? No pain, less worry? Hope you’re ok
Maria
