Hi everyone,
tomorrow I am seeing my surgeon to discuss the removal of my healthy breast. I have never felt ok about having one breast, and being lopsided and for a long time I wished that I’d had a double mastectomy. A chance conversation with my breast nurse informed me that some women do elect to have this additional surgery sometime later. Has anyone done this? Was the second operation not as bad as the first? I had a drain and a huge seroma with the first, axillary clearance etc. I probably couldn’t have coped with a double one initially, having had 5 months of chemo, and later radiation and fibrosis too. I got lymphodoema in the chest wall - did anyone get that with the second surgery please? Many thanks in advance.
