Thanks for your input.. went to the surgeon today told him I really really wanted both breasts removed said he couldnt do that and refered me to another surgeon.. I have really really aggressive tumor still in my left breast and I really really dont want to go through this again in the other one.. Thanks for the info on reconstruction.. I will wait too! What an insurance nightmare! There is no woman breast cancer specialist in my network so they won't approve me to go outside network.. cause they don't think the other breast should be removed.. damn I just want to be heard..getting second and third opinions Monday.. two lumpectomies for nothing and a waste of two months now I am really really angry! Appreciate your input!!
