A member asked:
Do you think a woman should consider a double mastectomy if cancer is only in one breast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: You need to have a discussion with your doctor about all the details and may get a genetic test. Even after that it is not an easy call, but it is not an issue for this forum.
