[mekasan]

I had a proph mast on my right side after chemo for DCIS and IDC in the right breast which was removed prior to chemo. I had decided during chemo to have it removed.

Of course, everyone is different, and personal choices are exact that, personal, however, I am glad to have had the mast and the SNB that my breast surgeon insisted I have.

After deciding on the second Mast, my breast surgeon ordered another MRI. A new tiny (mm's) suspicious lump was found, core biopsy showed benign. She actually took two nodes, because the first had some gunk in it that tested benign. The second was clear.

I personally feel more confident now knowing the nodes I have are clear.

Good luck with your decision.
I know you will do what is best for you.
