Hi @meeshodge
If you dont mind me asking - what is your initial (pre-surgical) diagnosis? I was diagnosed with invasive on the L and was considering BMX but ultimately did a single mastectomy. I was very concerned about removing the R side (where mammo/MRI were clean) without a node biopsy in case they later found a small cancer on the R side also. (Since I knew you cannot do a sentinel node biopsy after the breast is removed.) My surgeons told me they would not do a sentinel node biopsy on the R side b/c all the scans showed nothing there and that even if a small cancer was also found in the R breast post mastectomy that it wouldn't affect my treatment plan since I still needed to get treated for the invasive cancer that was there in the L breast. Interestingly, one surgeon I consulted tho claimed he was still able to do a sentinel biopsy after a mastectomy but didn't explain how it could be done.
