Mastectomy?!
Question: Mastectomy!?
When my grandmother had breast cancer, the doctors performed a mastectomy on her!.!. which is removing of the whole breast!.
I do not have breast cancer, but I do suffer from fibrocystic breast disease (fbd)!. I have gone to many doctors about it and they have all told me that because I have breast cancer in my family history, then I should also go through with something LIKE a mastectomy, but they would not remove the whole breast, and they preserve the nipple and they would replace to removed tissue with an implant!.
If you have had breast surgery for FBD, can you tell me what the process was like!? Are you happy you got the surgery!? Do you recommend it!? I was told there might be "decent" results, so I want to be sure that I will be happy about my decision!.!.
Thank you for anyone's help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My friend had this done about 7 years ago!. She did not have fbd or breast cancer but she lost her whole family (2 sisters and her mother) to breast cancer and decided she did not want to run the risk of ever having it!. She had both breasts removed and still says to this day that its the best decision she ever made!. She has a loving partner and to be honest, you wouldnt even know she's had her breasts removed unless she showed you!. She still wears great clothes with good 'padded' bra's!.
She could undergo reconstructive surgery to give her breasts but her sisters both had it done and the cancer came back with a vengeance!.
I think she's one brave lady!. Good luck Ems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My aunt had one last month!. She has the same condition as you (FBD)
She is really pleased with it! It doesn't look too different from before!. The scars can be treated with plastic surgery!. I do recommend it because of your family history!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
