Mastectomy questions....

[micheleu]

Ok, my US and mammo came out ok. (My opposite nipple lite up on my PET scan) My onc. said we need to still bx the nipple to make sure it's not pre-cancer or Paget's disease. Of course if that's positive i'll have bilateral mast. The other question is, I have a 2-5 times more chance of getting a new breast cancer because i've had cancer. Do i take both off now?? I'm almost 5 years out, and no one thought i would be here. He said today that it is a miracle and i'm in the minority. I'm wondering if i do mast. what kind to have and what are my choices?? I can't have the skin sparing gummy bears i wanted!!! Does anyone hear have the gummy bears with a simple mast? (gummy bears are a new implant that won't leak if it happened to break. Saw them on Oprah) Did alot of you take the abdominal muscle? (well, would I get a free tummy tuck?) Lot's of decisions i know.
