Breast surgeon: The american college of surgeons has a good website www.Facs.Org the first thing is to find out if you are at risk by checking your genes for the brca cancer. Your family history also. A qualified breast surgeon will talk to you about the double mastectomy and will have you see his oncology specialist and a plastic surgeon for reconstruction options as well.
