I had diagnosis of early BC and argued for a bilateral mastectomy, they also took left lymph nodes although only one was implicated. Felt right for me to do this instead of sitting around wondering when the next lump would appear. Surgeon was not happy but the nurse backed me, and I'm happy. That was Sept.
No chemo or radio just Femara which is not so good.
Anyone on that?
Make a stand for what you want! We are all different and our reactions are very different. But we do need to listen to our heart and make sure the medicos follow that thru for our peace of mind!
