Hi Becky, Sheila, & dhealy,
Thanks for your input. Since my first post, I'm now scheduled for stereotactic biopsy on July 2nd. I also saw surgeon and he Ok'd mastectomy even if benign findings. The stereotactic biopsy would aid the surgeon if it was malignant as far as checking lymph nodes & sentinel nodes. Otherwise, I think I'd skip it.
It's been 4-1/2 years and I don't even want to think about chemo, radiation, etc. So first things first. I'm feeling less anxious (except for the stereotactic procedure) since there's a plan in place. The results from stereotactic will help me decide about doing reconstruction at the same time if it's just a prophylactic mastectomy and no BC evident.
Thanks again for your encouragement, prayers, & great Winnie-the-Pooh quote.
