thank you for your response. I'm facing this very decision. Stage 0, grade 2, intermediate with small incidental Fibroadenoma. Estrogen negative. No testing for the progesterone.. so i dont have anyway of knowing what that is... they scheduled me immediately with oncologist. but I'm starting to have lots of questions regarding the other spots that were not clusters and hoping that my GP will initiate MRI on those and the other breast. Dense breast here, mother had similar, just not sure what type of cancer she had. She's cancer free after mastectomy 14yrs. I don't want to go through multiple treatments, so I'm definitely considering a bilateral mastectomy as of right now.

@birdie60 Bless you! You are smart. I can tell that you do your research, take your time, don’t let anyone rush you into something… Such as radiation where you still have questions. I went for breast conservation. I’m on month 5 of healing with an open wound on the radiated breast… If you want to do any surgery after radiation, please remember that there are complications… But only in the radiated breast. If you choose to go ahead and get radiation first, I would wait at least a year before you do your mastectomy. Yes, with your family history I understand your thoughts on mastectomy. I wish you all the very best as well as the best doctors you can find. Please remember that the surgeon is the most important doctor in this journey.. find one you can connect with .
