I received an abnormal result the very first time I went in for a mammogram. Like you I am being monitored. I am not sure what I would do, if told to remove my breasts. It scares me just thinking about it and to be honest, I'm trying not to think too much about it. In the end, you have to do what is right for you and your family, because a boob is just a boob. You can replace it but you can't replace you.

She had no abnormalities during her mammo, but was so frightened of betting breast cancer (and it did run in her family), that she made the decision to remove her breasts before the chance of getting cancer. I'm not sure how I feel about it or not. I think if you're dentined to get cancer, you're gonna get it and I know how painful that whole procedure was for her, so I hope in the end it was worth it for her.Mass Hole Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394886442191654012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-58141457541999286492011-10-13T22:36:35.333-07:002011-10-13T22:36:35.333-07:00I have thought about this before and I really thin...I have thought about this before and I really think I would have them removed and not have the implants.

I have always been athletic and found it annoying. Now that I am getting older the annoy me even more. I lost my Aunt to breast cancer and my cousin had to go through it as well. It is so frightening. I think the most important thing is your health and what you truly feel would be in your best interest.

She was diagnosised with breast cancer several years back. They had recommended she had a mastectomy but she refused, wanting to look natural in case her young son should see her naked, it wouldn't 'scar' him seeing her without a breast (weird but her logic). Well, she has had many problems due to just having a lumpectomy, even up to today. Her arm on that side is twice it's normal size and pains her most of the time. She has had issues with her limpnoids, and the list could go on and on.<br /> Her issues gives me the understanding that IF I was in her place, I would have them off. As for replacing them, probably not any time soon, just because I would like to enjoy the flat chest for awhile.mamahasspokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049292242708654609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-81715447919429345352011-10-13T13:41:41.146-07:002011-10-13T13:41:41.146-07:00I so understand what you are saying.

My mom (her sister) has had a few lumpectomies but has adamantly held onto keeping her breasts. I am not enormously-chested (just a D) but were I to have a double mastectomy, I would in all likelihood opt for reconstructive surgery and get a smaller set... I am a little older than you, for what that's worth :) <br /><br />Wishing you the very best with your situation and hoping you are able to feel super confident in your decision... because feeling good about which way to take it makes any way you go the right way :)XLMIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268964638359962511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-52565090578277160452011-10-13T11:43:02.184-07:002011-10-13T11:43:02.184-07:00Wow, Kelly.

My cousin has had it three times and if not having breasts would have kept her from having it...I know what she would say. I guess i would have to ask several oncologists their opinion.<br />Would love for you to do a guest post for me and share your story with my readers.
