I would do everything you can to improve your chances.
I always here people regretting not having a bi-latral. I am one of those. Now after a 2nd diagnoses at such a young age (29 now) I chose to have both taken off - no recon. The pain wasnt as bad as i thought they feed u so many pain killers. The drains are annoying but once there gone i would always feel better.
I think you should do what u feel is right. I would worry more about your emotional state than your pain state as the emotional stuff can stick around longer. I had a bi-latral for my emotional well being, not coz of the fear of re-occurance. hope this makes sense.
Sorry you have to go thru this.
