My tumors and cysts just keep coming back. I am 53 years young I have 3 beautiful daughters and a grandson and a new little grandbaby on the way....In the past year I have had the benign tumors taken out, asperated and core biospy. I can't take anymore of this wondering. I to am looking into the double mastectomy. My doctor told me I am at risk for breast cancer. I'd rather face it now then face it later with worse news...

The nodes look OK thru MRI and ultrasound but who know at the cellular level, and yet we know it is the cancer that spreads (I forgot the word). Thanks for your comments and prayers.

My doctor was a fan of conserving the breast and since my tumor was 1.1 cm and had not spread to nodes, he thought a lumpectomy was the best bet. So I had one, it seems to have worked well. After chemo, radiation and Herceptin therapy, I am cancer-free (5 years). I cannot tell you what to do, but once you have all the info. in front of you, I bet your gut will!

I am pre-menopausal, have a mother who died of breast cancer and an aunt who has had the disease twice (I have no sisters). I have very dense, cystic breasts. In fact I just had a mamogram in September and was told it was fine. The cancer is in one breast, and the MRI is inconclusive of the size, since there is a cyst that hopefully is large and the cancer in or near it. Very confusing. I am seriously considering a bilateral masectomy. I have wondered my whole life "when" not "if I was going to get cancer, and here I am. I really don't want to spend another second worrying about the other breast. Any suggestions I am 48 years old, and have just been diagnosed with breast cancer.
