Single wanted double

Going through breast cancer treatment Surgery
1

Hi everyone 

I was wondering if anyone has been successful in getting the double. When i first asked when i was told of the diagnosis, i was told i had to wait for the genetic testing as i have braca1 Gene in the close family. Then i can have the other removed. I’d rather get it done in one go, having a heart condition already and not wanting to have double recovery time. Can i push for it. I don’t want to be cheeky but i also can’t sleep with worry it will return in the other breast xx 

Thank you so much xx

Hi, I totally understand your position. I am seeing my surgeon next week to discuss single mastectomy but I would feel so much better about the future if I  could have double mastectomy. I think it is highly unlikely that I  will get the go ahead but will let you know what surgeon says. Could  you  keep me updated on your situation?

Thanks
