Have the right breast removed, or do not have it removed, that is the question...
Hi everyone:
As you can see by my signature, I had my left breast removed 2/12. What I didn 't put in it was the size of the tumors. I had two primarytumors that were connected by a long strand of DCIS that when stretched out measured 11 cm. I had genetic testing done and I do not have the mutated genes for BC.
I plan to have Breast reconstruction next summer, but my question is, should I have the right breast removed as well? Do alot of women out there with Her-2 go ahead and have the other breast removed. I am really trying to figure this one out.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank-you,
Cheryl
