The decision to have a double mastectomy isn’t an easy one. Maryse Rogers had her surgery on February 1st, and she says she has no regrets.
Maryse waited for months to get a confirmed date for her surgery. The last week of January she got the call, her surgery was set for February 1st.
It was all over within an hour and a half, and there was a sense of relief for her, “I do not regret my decision at all, On Sunday, I was allowed to take the bandages off. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I have to admit, it looks pretty darn good.”
She initially made the decision to have her breasts removed because of her high risk of getting cancer, “One, being that my mother, my sister and my first cousin all had breast cancer. I also had an Aunt who had ovarian cancer.”
Since going public with her decision, Maryse has been contacted by several people who have had the surgery or who are thinking about it, “It’s really nice to be able to talk to people who have been through this, or who are thinking about it. It’s nice to know I’m not alone.”
