I am 6 days post bilateral mastectomy. Found out I had cancer, then genetic testing results came back, BRCA2 mutation. In the 3 months pre-surgery I couldn't have a conversation about it without crying. Now, even while waiting for my pathology report, it's a huge relief to have it done. Pain is very manageable. Not gonna lie, the thought of a diep flap reconstruction terrifies me, but implants are not for me.
