Getting overies out??
I am thinking to lessen the risk of overian cancer, to get them out, I have both breasts off and nose clearence, on the dreaded Tamoxifen
@"Bon Bon" Sorry, the rad treatment is the radiation treatment. Following my lumpectomy, my medical team decided that radiation treatment would be my next step BUT if you have radiation treatment & then in the future decide to have a mastectomy & reconstructive surgery(which they may suggest if my test comes back positive), then the surgeons find it very difficult to do reconstruction surgery as the skin is hard to "reconstruct" if you have had radiation. So, that's why everything is on hold until my gene test comes back. I am ready to begin radiation treatment ASAP if the test is negative & I have already done the setup & planning for the radiation so I just have to wait it out for another couple of weeks yet! Fingers crossed!!
