Hi all I am going in for a double masectomy with immediate reconstruction via DIEP from abdominal area. I saw my plastic surgeon yesterday and have come away with so much anxiety which is something I ner have. I was diagnosed Triple negative stage 3 back in November 2019 had chemo for 6 months suffered with really severe pain in my legs followed by a lumpectomy then a further operation as the margs were not clear enough and then had 6 rounds of chemo in tablets form. My nipple began to leak and became inverted after asking and asking and asking to have it checked I finally got an appointmentnly to come down with covid the day before my appointment. I rang to cancel the appointment and asked for another to be sent after waiting a month I rang about a new appointment and was called back an appointment 3 days later. Swab was taken of the fluid leaking from my nipple which turned out to be blood I had a mammogram and the surgeon said that the previous calcification that was in my breast from my previous mammogram back in March 2020 had changed shape and it was very concerning so 12 biopsies were taken and then the 2 week wait. The results came back as precancerous cells and a masectomy is the only option left which really doesn't bother me as no more chemo or radiotherapy will be needed and I have opted for a double mastectomy (as described at the beginning of this version of war and peace lol) Has anyone done this please as a bit of inside information and reassurance is very much needed right now
I’m having a single mastectomy and diep on Thursday, it is really daunting and I too had a wobble after it was all spelled out to me, I came on here and some ladies who’d already had it were very reassuring. I think we have to expect it’ll be tough for the first few days, tough for the first couple of weeks but then we will recover and it’ll be ok 
good luck xx
