Reason for BA

My parents have been bugging me to go see a surgeon about a double mastectomy since i was about 17. We were thinking breast cancer might be genetic on my moms side. My mom had breast cancer at 40 (had a lumpectomy). Her mom had BC around 46-47 (had a mastectomy), and HER mom had breast cancer (passed away from it, not sure what age).
I researched the procedure WITH reconstruction, and saw about 90% of feedback saying that reconstruction wasn't worth it because there is no tissue or anything to support the implant so it made them very pronounced and noticeable afterwards, also the majority of women said that the pain after implants were put in was so intense that most of them either regretted having implants, or actually went back and had them taken out. This obviously freaked me out, so i was really hoping i wouldn't have to do that procedure NOW, but i did want their thoughts on it. All the surgeons i saw pretty much told me the same thing. It most likely isn't genetic because they were over 40 when they got BC, so it wasn't necessary to have the procedure done now, but i do have a higher chance of contracting it. I was also told that since I have so little tissue, that they would most likely have to take everything off meaning i wouldn't be able to breast feed..... I'm not ready to remove my nipples just yet lol. I kind of figured that's how it would be, so I decided to just go ahead with the BA part and skip the removal since i don't actually need it.
Might as well have boobs while i can!!!

Glad you can move forward with your surgery. I have read of other women like yourself that have decided to get their BAs despite the breast cancer in their family. Have you asked your doctor what method of breast cancer detection you will use, such as mammograms, MRI, etc? You are young but wondering if you will be getting a baseline mammogram for future use?

My mother in law has a cancer gene that has a 50% chance of being passed to her children. If they get it, they have a 50% chance of passing it on to their children, if not, it stops there. It's a gene you can be tested for. Her mother had breast cancer as well. It can also be passed to men as breast, pancreatic and prostate cancer as well I believe and ovarian cancer in women. I'm thinking it's the same gene Angelina Jolie had perhaps you could go through a genetic test to give you peace of mind for you and your future children if it's the same type that runs in your family.

That is what the surgeon was thinking. But he said that since they were over 40 that testing wasnt mandatory. I do want to get the test done eventually though! My grandma had a couple brothers and sisters but they all passed away before my mom was born so we never had a chance to ask... or even think about asking. I will find out eventually though
I havent gone over what type of silicone i will get, we are waiting for the pre-op still, but im ready to get it done aleady. Lol!
