Prophylactic mastectomy during herceptin

[MCS]

Lani, Becky and others by all means

I showed micro in my "good" breast that have been stable. BUT, this is how the bad breast started out back in 2004 and then I was dx in 2005 with dcis from these micros. So I'm thinking of yanking this good one out too. I'm very nervous of carrying around these micros around till they go awry.

In another thread, I have been reading that inflammation to the area could cause bc to start there- thus argument for little trauma to breast.

I would like to stay on herceptin during the recovery period of the mastectomy ( a comfort blankie!). But this would be past the one year standard treatment.

Have you heard if I could request to stay on this till recovery, especially reading the other thread on 18-24 month recurrence rate.

Please advise.

Thank you all,
