Have You Had Both Breasts Removed?

Me too 💪👋 October 25th

Honestly I've had 40 DD so it's a relief for me to get them off

My date is scheduled for Oct 25 too!! WE’VE GOT THIS 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Along with being my mom's birthday, who's looking down so yeah we got this no problem what's so ever

Does anybody know the surgery recovery time?

Not yet the 10 I go in for pre admission testing to see if I actually have a brain lol

Lol thanks Tracey

I've heard 4 weeks recovery time but that also depends on how you take this take it with a grain of salt and you got this but don't pressure yourself to get better your body needs time to heal so as your layer up eat what ya want

So true thanks Tracey 😊

Are you doing a double mastectomy because it was the only option? Or did you decide to do it because of genetic testing?

Another bone scan..MRI Biopsy too.... told the doctors to take them off...all the bras ....... Looking for a big donation box!!!

I decided on getting both just because I don't want to go thru this again

I decided to do double mastectomy because of family history and no radiation

I'm having a double mastectomy with autologous Reconstruction on 11/9. 8 week recovery time I was told. No genetics. Strong family history. I won't need radiation also. DCIS grade 3, and 8 cm long.

Well surgery postponed due to thyroid levels way to high, so now get thyroid in check then go for surgery oh yeah lol

10/16 was my surgery date.we got this.
