My new surgeon isn't all that keen on me having both off as he says my right is essentially healthy tissue.

I stil dont know what my treatment will be apart from the definite  mastectomy on the left and arimidex for 5 years after.  It will depend on the sentinel node biopsy and the pathaloogy of the tumour. He reckons there is a 60% chance that I will have to have chemo as well.

I am already 2 years post menopause so i think that makes a difference to what other treatment I get.

I am almost certain that I will be going for a bilateral. Dont want to have to think about it again.

I have to write my surgeon a letter with my reasons for wanting it, not for any legal reason but he says that it helps me to really clarify why I am making the decision that I am.

There aint no going back.
