WORTH IT$10,000

I was diagnosed with LCIS (lobular carcinoma in situ) and discovered I had a personal lifetime breast cancer risk of 40 percent. I opted to have prophylactic mastectomies with tissue expander-to-implant reconstruction, and was treated by a breast surgeon and plastic surgeon. My personal lifetime breast cancer risk is now three percent.

Wow, congratulations on reducing your risk of cancer. Those are some very amazing numbers! Glad you had a PS your really liked during this difficult time. How long did the entire process take? Would you say the tissue expanders were the most difficult and painful part? Or perhaps the fills or recoveries? Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf.
