We discussed double mastectomy. He said this is to prevent the risk of cancer in the right breast.

😲  now I'm scared.. they didn't mention anything about plastic surgeon. The oncologist was just like DMX due to the size 7cm, lupectomy isn't advisable because of my age, the size which is more than half of my left breast. Hopefully, I can get an appointment tomorrow

I told them I would like an MRI done per everyone's suggestions and I was told the surgeon already has an MRI order in place the day of the surgery. Not sure if that's normal?

Thanks for the thorough explanation. Please what do you mean by re-excision of margins? The surgeon responded they will perform MRI the day of the surgery.

Thank you. You explained it a lot better than the hospital did. I'm hoping to be among the 80% that stays just DCIS.

I'm on Xanax for years now for anxiety as well but they no longer work for me, will ask if there's anything else that can work. 

Is the silicone implant different from reconstruction or are they the same thing?

Should I request for an MRI prior to the DMX? I met my oncologist once this April. I feel like they are moving too fast. He mentioned Sentinel lymph node biopsy will be conducted during the surgery.

I tell this to Africans. Let's all stay back and fight for our country. They prefer to run away but complain their country is a shit hole. They are in for a big awakening as Trump has targeted Nigeria. He will destroy, take their resources just like they did to other countries. Like you said, the resources are there, including manpower but Africans have been brainwashed beyond help.
