Good topic - and very personal decision for sure. I felt compelled to do all that I could to prevent this cancer from recurring. I fought with my surgeon to do the other healthy breast. I fought to have the complete hysterectomy. I requested the genetic test and found after all my fighting that I was doing the right thing - my cancer was not only locally advanced but BRCA2 pos. So I guess you educate yourself the best you can and go with your "gut feelings". I have come to respect myself and my intuition a lot more after this trial... blessings to you and may you make the decision that makes you comfortable!
