Refused a Double Mastectomy

I'm sorry you're so upset about the surgeon's refusal, but I think he/she is probably right to suggest counselling before you make a final decision.    

Hi Sapphire, why do you think that?  I've always wanted rid of them...

Hi Hello123

I have requested my other breast removing. I spoke to my breast care nurse who made an appointment for me to see my consultant who was very sympathetic and said that I would need to see a psychologist to ensure it is the right decision. Breast Cancer Now have a service called Someone like Me. I contacted them and spoke with a lady who had gone through a second mastectomy for symmetry. She was great. I’m having the psychological appointment next week. I’m glad I have taken time to think through my decision. What I find strange is that women who want breast reconstruction don’t have to go through this pathway. My initial mastectomy was performed during lockdown and I wasn’t given a choice to reconstruct. 

I hope you manage to discuss your choices with health professionals and make the decision that’s right for you.

You have to be articulate with the surgeons they are right you have to talk to a psychologist before bmx as some pts want both off for wrong reasons e.g reflex response to news of cancer, some because they believe wrongly it reduces risk of cancer , you also have to be sure were you derive your sexuality from. 
I was told I couldn’t have dmx but I insisted one anaesthetic is safer than two so they did the dmx (still had to talk to psychologist) I have no regrets in fact I have no back pain now and feel free so persist if you are sure of your preference
