After confusing mammogram reports from our small town local hospital, we chose to drive 100 miles to a undiagnosed breast center-MD Anderson, Houston. Yesterday, I had a breast MRI and was called at home 5 hours later with a diagnosis. I need to return for an ultrasound biopsy and discussion of treatment. The "wondering" stage is finally over and we're ready for the treatment stage.
I plan to have a bilateral mastectomy 11/3. There was no options open for the left breast; and because I have scattered cancer cells in the right, I decided to have the bilateral. I may have to have radiation afterwards. I am very satisfied with my decision and feel very optimistic about my cancer. I now am looking into prothesis. Does anyone have any info on this subject?
