As a breast cancer survivor myself, I know that if diagnosed early a lumpectomy plus chemo and radiation is all that is needed as opposed to a mastectomy. Plus I’m taking a pill to suppress estrogen for the next five years. If she’s afraid of chemo it wasn’t that bad for me thanks to some expensive drugs that fortunately my insurance paid for. I just experienced some fatigue. I just think that a double mastectomy without a cancer diagnosis is premature and unnecessary.
