Thank you so much for this information, I have not seen nor is it on my portal yet the biopsy results. Not thrilled about that and do not know why. I am 68 but not sure I want a double mastectomy.

Your decision will be totally unique to you. There is no wrong or right. My surgery was Aug 23 2024, so I am almost 6 month post op. I have healed very well and I am happy with my results.
I went on a clothes shopping spree 3 weeks after my surgery and made it a fun outing. I am learning to love my new body! No more bras! No more mammograms!

Update after seeing the surgeon is Invasive Ductile Carcinoma, grade 3 the estrogen one. I will have surgery Feb 4 and they will do a biopsy of my lymph gland to check and decide if they all come out. Sounds like I will have radiation and Chemo but do not know yet.
