Chelee, I don't know if I support the mast. I do know the only thing that brought me to tears in this whole ordeal was the blue dye injection for SNB. It hurts. My understanding was I went thru it to see if my breast and lymph nodes could be spared.

For now they are assuming you don't have cancer in the prophy side. I think they are giving you good advice on waiting for path before getting more aggressive on something that appears benign.

I can completely understand you wanting to take action if you are in pain. Making decisions is harder than the physical part.

I don't think HER2+ is highly correlated with recurrence to other breast. So you have to decide what you want. I would hang tight but you are up a notch from me and you are having feelings for a preference. Sometimes you have to go with your gut feelings.

Soul search. Make a decision and let us know how it turns out. Best wishes BB.
