I had already had about 6 surgeries on both breasts n most were biopsies n lumpectomies came back with lobular carcimoa insitu several times so i went every 6 months with the same worry for another surgery finally after having all those surgeries and worries i decided i just wanted to be done with the worries and the cutting and the ugly lopsided breasts and asked the dr to just do a double mascectomy and he refused but i was set on doing it cause i felt more lumps and was not letting him do more biopsies again n again . He said he would not do the surgery unless i had full blown breast cancer, so i went elsewhere to get a second opinion, the oncologists had me get an mri of the breast after he checket out all my records n yes it showed possible breast cancer, so he sent me to a surgeon, and they also set me up with a plastic surgeon and 2 months later i had my surgery and they started my reconstruction at the same time needless to say report came back with 2 types of cancers tubular cancer and ductal carcinoma both in the right breast and it was invasive so i am now taking arimidex for the next 5 yrs....the medication is rough makes my emotions go crazy, , but if it helps from stopping the cancer from going some where else in my body i have to take it , so i am glad i made the choice i have made but i still have down days going thru the reconstruction.but for now im healthy and i dont have the worry every 6 months ..... thats my story thank god i have a very supportive Hubby, Son, n Sissy.
