Thank you for your comment! I'm putting all papers and recirpts in breast cancer journal. Each words of ppl in forum mean a lot to me.

But I was little shocked when I went to public. My operation date is not guaranteed neither.
But it is a little peace of mind that I fon't need to worry about outof pocket for each stage...some doctor charge only scheduled fee. You are lucky:)
I'll do more study this weekend to find out what is best for me. I obviously can't make up my mind for bilateral mastectomy. Tough thing...
