Breast disease: What decisions did you make with high risk factors?

I marvel at the breast journey you have been on. With mine, I was small breasted, a big tumor, Brca2 added and a mastectomy on one side my only option. I ended up have the other side removed for prevention.
Having reductions with doctors who were not the best is not uncommon. It feels though, you have experience to share on many breast topics.
My thoughts are that the newest doctor was not there for any of your prior test or surgeries. So not unlike the Biopsy i got at one hospital, the new research hospital wanted their own. Different machines and such. I was happy at the eventual treatment i had at the research hospital.
The best scenario for you is an all clear. Just waiting for results. Do as you seem to have done, be good to yourself as you wait. Keep us posted.

You are an angel. I am so abundantly grateful for your response to my question.
You yourself have had quite a journey with your breast issues, and what you’ve gone through.
I consider you a courageous warrior.
I agree, wholeheartedly with you, new doctors, new eyes on things, and a hopeful outcome.
I know I have been fastidious about all of my healthcare.
Especially about my breast health with all the surgeries and exhaustion with each of them, hoping the next time I’d be put together better.
All in all, I would take what I went through over a diagnosis of cancer.
You are a brave woman.
I Messaged my breast surgeon from Massachusetts, fortunately she responded rapidly to me and just said keep me informed on what’s going on. She wants to know what the outcome is, and naturally I told her; just because I left Massachusetts. I still consider her my doctor and I will not hesitate to be on her doorstep if need be.
I know they all have to air on the side of caution, especially, with old history of images from another location, and a new finding.
I am grateful that they are willing to do their job thoroughly because that’s what we all want is a consciousness medical team of people.
Fortunately, I’m at Yale. I was at Boston Lahey clinic before this with a team. I was with for 16 years so naturally, getting new doctors was somewhat daunting..
I do not actually have a new breast surgeon yet they’re reviewing my new patient information, and I’m supposed to hear from them.
The good news is I have two other breast doctors in Massachusetts and one is from Brigham and women’s in Boston.
I always leave the door open to come back to the doctors. I’ve trusted for many years.. even if it’s three hours up and three hours back.
I’m always keeping an open mind and praying and hoping for good results.
I pray also for your continued wellness, and thank you for your kind and generous, compassionate response. It is greatly appreciated.
Hugs and blessings to you.
