Hi All

Here is the latest news, my surgeon says that they got enough from the biopsy. However, what I have read on the internet is that lobular and ductal carry the same risk for a new cancer.
I am scheduling an appointment to speak with my oncologist about the genetic testing. I need to know if he now feels I should have the test.
If I do and I test positive I may consider a mastecomy with immediate recon.

To many things to think about.

Surgeon thinks I should have a follow up mammo in 6 months, but if I have my right lift in November the mammo will be useless and I will need another MRI.

Wedding is in three weeks.
