Having your ovaries removed would only be feasible if you tested positive for the breast cancer gene or you had a tumor that proved to be ER+. Otherwise it would be "overkill" for no reason. I understand your concerns but if it is proven to be "nothing" then a normal follow-up would certainly be advised. Take care ....
Thank you so much. I am trying to work through both cases. Both good and not so good news. If It is Mucinous Carcinoma then fine I will deal with that BUT if they say we will watch you and come back in a year that scares me more! Im worried something being missed and coming back in a worse state then I started in. Does that make sense? I have read somewhere that having Ovaries out can reduce breast cancer. I wonder if this may help me
If this is truly Mucinous Cancer, though quite rare, it is a very slow growing cancer that does not invade the lymphatic system and does not metastisize to other parts of the body. Most often these cancers are ER/PR+. If you get a diagnosis that you aren't comfortable with then ask your Physician about 2nd opinions; no Physician should object to such a request. Good Luck .....
You may seek 2nd opinion of pathology, try to find a good pathologist to have a clear conclusion of biopsy findings. Take care.
