At the time of diagnosis my other breast was also found to have "suspicious areas" that would require further testing, biopsy, watching, etc. I decided I did not want to spend years watching and wondering. If it was showing compromise, I wanted to deal with it then. Turns out not to have had cancer but I am still relieved not to always be worrying about it. My surgeon is normally conservative but agreed with my decision As did a tumor board. So I am at peace.
But the article was interesting...
