Re: Thoughts on removal of opposite healthy breast?
Well, everyone is different, and you just need to choose what makes you feel the most comfortable. I had my healthy breast removed because I was scared to death I would have a recurrence there. Instead, I got mets to the liver and brain...woot! Take your doctors opinions into consideration, but also take your gut instinct into consideration and do what you feel is right for you. Sending lots of prayers your way...
