I had a left modified radical mast. in '99, and after a local/regional recurrence in 2001, a right simple mast. for peace of mind. My pcp, onc and breast specialist/surgeon were all very supportive of my decision, and although I later recurred again to the right axilla, I feel the preemptive mastectomy saved me additional trauma/surgery. I've had no reconstruction, just a personal choice.
