Ok, I wanted to get moving so I guess I got what I asked for.
Saw my surgeon FINALLY yesterday. He gave me two options, conservation, radiation, yada yada, or bilateral mastectomy. I opted for the bilateral mastectomy. I choose not to keep going thru this and I hear so much about recurrance. If I were to opt for conservation and radiation, then had a recurrance, I could not get reconstruction.
I still don't have my brca results, but it really does not mattter. I will use that to make decisions regarding my ovaries.
The surgery is scheduled for AUGUST 5...that is just around the corner....
At the time of the surgery they will do a sentinel node biopsy. If it comes up clean it is a good possibility that I might not need any further treatment.
I need to fight with my insurance because the plastic surgeon that my breast surgeon works with is out of plan. I need to get pre admit labs, and lord knows what else I need to do. Also I leave for Vermont vacation on Sat.
Never a dull moment...
