prophilactic mastectomy tests

[MCS]

Hi everyone,

What tests should I request of tissue on the prophilactic ( spell?)mastectomy?

Should I request nodes removed? tested for sentinel node? etc etc

Also how often should I request a pet ct, every 3 or six months?

And how about bone scan? 3 or 6 months?

It should be a simple one. I'm taking it out because frankly I'm scared of this moving over to the good side of town!

I've been reading here today regarding reconstruction. I had one done on the right breast already. I'm pretty small so it would not have really mattered I hvae been reading here today regarding reconstruction that chest wall problems will not be identified till too late ( in bone and lungs). I'm having an mri every 3 months. I read about women here with stage 1 and then few onths later with stage 4. Scary, very scary.

Just like the rest of us, what else can I do besides diet, vigilant in testing and taking this off. I still have ovaries and uterus but had an endometrial oblation several years ago which put me in menopause.

Thank you for your opinions,

XO
