Hi @Nan. Like @onemargie I am following my gut and having the other breast removed. My mother had BC when she was my age and my sister died from it less than two years ago. My re-excision revealed a 4cm area of busy DCIS that was invisible on all the other scans I'd had. Occult cells they call them. I'd never trust any scan & can't afford MRIs. I know I can't live like that, I'm only 51 and have four kids to launch into the world. The strain would be ruinous to my mental health. We are all different, know yourself and trust your gut. Best wishes and congrats on having great-grandchildren! K
