Hi Jaime,

I am 3 weeks out from a prophylactive left mastectomy ( was dx w Stage IIIC last June-05, at which time I underwent right mastectomy )

Anyway, I had an MRI 6mos ago, and no detectable lump in left breast. However, the surgeon felt palpable lymph nodes prior to this surgery

My pathology report showed intraductal and lobular atypical hyperplasia.
In the breast. My nodes were "fatty".
Which is basically a time bomb.

I am thankful I pursued and now never have to worry about lumps anymore.
