57 Year Old, Triple Negative Breast Cancer, Bilateral Mastectomy with Reconstruction. And Face Lift - Nashville, TN

I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy for many reason. A lumpectomy, while conserving healthy breast tissue would have included radiation. It would destroy healthy tissue, my breast would not be symmetrical and would have required extensive reconstruction anyway. Having a bilateral mastectomy under the remarkable skill of an oncology surgeon, Dr Richard Gere and my plastic surgeon, Dr J J Wenel at the same time, saved my months of recovery time.
