Hi Chelee, I guess you know my story but just wanted to remind you that stage 3 her2's can't afford to be put off for any reason. My Onc talked me out of a double mastectomy and thought I would be satisfied with a "probably benign" reading on my MRI - but I just could NOT rest with that. I felt safer with the other breast gone. The stereotactic biopsy completely missed the invasive part of my cancer and only diagnosed me as DCIS. So many procedures so little real information. Wahhh - in a way you have to go with your gut feelings about this. I felt uncomfortable with waiting another 6 months and even though it was benign - I have never regretted getting rid of the other breast. Hope you get some peace and satisfaction after all this! We are pulling for you!
