She should reconsider. At least till she's 30 and gravity takes over.
>>She is removing both breasts as a preventive measure to reduce her chances of developing the disease that killed her mother, grandmother and great aunt.<<
I have never heard of prophylactic mastectomies before this. Does anyone know if it usually done?
My BS meter is off the chart. No one would do this with no symptoms.
Me thinks the babe is trying to win on the sympathy vote.
Seems to me that reconstruction would be 99% if she has it done now... They could preserve the nipples and the skin and remove all the mammary tissue.
So then she has taken all the tests to identify markers for breast cancer - right?
I personally think this is beyond stupid.
There are so many tests a woman can do for early diagnosis - sonograms, blood.....
But it is keeping her name in the papers.
I went to the University of MD and never saw anything like that walking around campus....
One of my former employees just had this done.....she is in her late 30s and I was stunned when she told me about her plans. Her mother died in her mid-50s of breast cancer after battling it for years.....and my ex-employee had the “genetic markers” which she said made her like 95 percent disposed to getting breast cancer.......just my two cents.
