I'm not in that category but in a 'similar' category. When I was first diagnosed I was a Stage 0 cancer (maybe I'd get invasive cancer, maybe not). Two years later I had invasive cancer, but with lots of careful follow up on my part I caught my cancer at Stage 1. If I could go back in time I would have removed my breasts at the Stage 0 pre cancer stage and saved myself the worry and extra concern about recurrence. But, I didn't know what would happen and neither did my doctors. It could have been a one time thing and resolved. If you decide to wait I think the most important thing is to be really, really, really diligent about follow ups and make sure you trust your doctors, understand your tests and do lots of research and outreach. I am glad for all the time I spent monitoring my situation because I was able to catch the cancer early. Hugs and hopes you're one of the lucky ones who won't even get invasive cancer!
