Hi,

I also discussed this topic with my surgeon during my last follow-up. There really isn't any strong evidence to suggest that it would help my situation. To be honest about it, I am at a relatively high risk for recurrence, and if I were to do prophylactic breast surgery, and then have a distant recurrence, I would have never enjoyed 'time off' from active treatment, so to speak. I understand that some women want to do the prophylactic surgeries for peace of mind, but for me, the mammos and breast MRIs haven't been too bad. I think I retained some of my youthful feelings of invincibility, despite the sucky diagnosis. (Did this all really happen?!)
