I'm due to have a skin/nipple sparing bilateral mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction in March after chemotherapy for breast cancer. I would like to know peoples experiences on this operation, recovery, do they feel abdormal or is it something you get used to? I've also got the BRAC1 gene and it would be helpful if anyone has this and has also gone on to have ovary removal and can give me any advice / info on how youve managed with the early menopause.
