I was diagnosed at my usual breast screen with a lump in my left breast that after a biopsy became more complicated and so a mastectomy was decided upon. Because of my concern about a grey unidentified area in the left side I queried the possibility of it also being in the right side even though there was no cancer detected in that breast.
Fortunately my newly chosen surgeon agreed with me and we got the results of a rushed MRI two days before my scheduled surgery showing another mass on the right side. So what started as most likely a lumpectomy on one side turned into a double mastectomy with two day’s notice.
Does this qualify me to fill in your survey as I was given the all clear for my right breast which turned out to contain the more aggressive Her 2 positive cancer.
Talk about scramble one’s head!
Jo.
