Hello Heidi,
I'm sorry you need us, but glad you found us. I hope we will be able to give you the support you need right now.

You are very young for a breastcancer patient, and this makes me wonder if you are perhaps BRCA positive, which means that you care a gene that makes you more susceptible to developing breastcancer. Has your doctor said anything about that? Because if this is the case, it might indeed be a good idea to have a prophylactic mastectomy on the right side.

It's impossible for us to tell you what to do. We are not doctors and all we can do is tell you about what we have heard and what we have read.

I hope you can talk to your doctor about this. Have you tried that? Have you asked a good explanation of your pathology report, of the tests that have been done and have you talked about your prognosis? I think you need more information before you can make a decision about this.

Hang in there! Things will get better, eventually!

Hugs

Jacqueline
