Hi Everyone,
I have been diagnosed with breast cancer and am having a mastectomy of the left breast. I am worried about the right also as the mamogram had showed something there but the ultrasound ...

Hi Tracey,
Like Karen I had a long history of benign cysts and lumps. When Right breast cancer was diag after routine mammogram I was determined to have bilateral mastectomy. Because of really dense breast tissue my surgeon didn't push back on my request for bilateral. The left side showed no abnormalities on mammogram, ultrasound or MRI. However, early neoplasm was found on the left by pathology. Although I would encourage anyone considering bilateral to take there time it is no minor proceedure. As others have said you can always go back and do the other side if you're not sure now. All the best
