Hi Mary Jo, I am not ERPR negative and was stage 3 at diagnosis with extensive vascular involvement. I did go ahead and do the ovaries and all possible sites.. I just felt it was important. Afterwards I was tested and found to be BRCA2 positive so my inner surgeon was right. I guess discerning between fear, intuition, and fact is so difficult during these times. You have to shake it all around and do what seems right to you in the end. I kind of felt best to do all the fighting I could while the battle was still at the stage 3 point. Some of my Dr's just shook their heads but after the BRCA they understood. It justified my discomfort. The surgery would be simple for you I imagine. Two years out is sweet! Enjoy your life -looks like you have a steadfast supporter by your side.
