Mastectomy - flat and fabulous or reconstruction. Shared experiences

Yes again apologies for jumping in and responding but my response (I had a single mastectomy) is exactly same as @Jaygo . I was never offered a double and yes, they would never remove a healthy breast. As I understand it, for non- hereditary BC, just because you had cancer in one there’s absolutely no reason why you’d get it in the other one - as opposed to any other part of the body. I’m on annual mammograms for my remaining breast (plus obviously ongoing self- examination). I just have to trust that’ll be enough.
