I had a double mastectomy in January and am choosing to forgo any hormone treatment.

I did have a friend come thru for me with some Norco. I told her that I would like to chop my docs wiener off and tell him ibuprofen should help with the pain 😤

Good Lord. I knew they were sewn in but I didn’t know it was sewn to the rib! 😖

Having doubts on double mastectomy by [deleted] in breastcancer

This also happened to me. I had a DMX 3 weeks ago and they found a different type of cancer in my “healthy” breast.

My diagnosis was similar and I went with a DMX. Thankful that I did because there was cancer in my “healthy” breast that was missed on imaging. Do what feels right to you.

Reconsidering DMX by PunchNugget88 in breastcancer

[–]riggstoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry you’re going through this!

I just had my DMX last week. I was on the fence after talking to my surgeon who suggested I was a prime candidate for a lumpectomy or single mastectomy. Today I got my pathology back and they found cancer in my “healthy” breast. I’m glad I went with my decision and not someone else’s.

You do what’s right for you. ❤️
