@cmocmo your partial comment “ the second one (who ended up performing the surgery) did not because my genetic testing came back clean. She reasoned that the other side was healthy, and it is best not to have a major surgery on a healthy organ. It doubles the chances of complications, and it wouldn't change my survival odds. Plus, I feel like I am being closely monitored because I get an MRI on both sides every year, with a mammogram in between. ” is great and important for us to know. I had a single side mastectomy in 2019 and my oncologist is having me do MRI on both sides and mammogram in between just like your monitoring. Sounds like you have a great Dr. Blessings to you.
