Hi, I have triple negative breast cancer and have been offered a single full mastectomy. I’m 40 and believe my tumour is quite aggressive. I just want to rule out any possibility of the blinking thing coming back. From the beginning of my diagnosis I have been very keen on having a double mastectomy but I feel my surgeon wasn’t that keen, however my appointment was about 7 minutes with him, so no real discussion at all. He just glossed over my question about wanting a double mastectomy. The whole appointment was very disheartening. I will have reconstruct surgery too, implant expanders or DIEP. All my genetic testing was negative. I would like to know if you have any experience of ladies wanting a double as a preventative measure. I have also been trying to find information regarding recurrence in the other breast, do you have this information or point me in the direct where I could find it? This is a life changing surgery and I really want to make the most informed decision. Hope you can help. I have a follow appointment next week. Thank you
