Double Mastectomy, side effects and be aware during different recovery years

Double Mastectomy, side effects and be aware during different recovery years

In 2015 I was diagnosed with right breast cancer and had mastectomy.

In 2020 I am considering left breast mastectomy instead of reconstruction because of prevention and congenital lower back medical condition and pain.

I have been advised to look out for skin cancer around the wound area.

I am afraid and like to know please:

- the side effects of double mastectomy during the difference recovery years

- what to be aware after double mastectomy

- does the constant tingling and pain always stay?

Thanks so much for sharing your experience.

With much appreciation

Agnes

Hi Agnes1,

Welcome. I'm sorry to hear about your breast cancer.

I haven't had mestectomy (or breast cancer for that matter), but hopefully someone who has will be along soon.

How are you going now after the mastectomy?
