Anyone not do SNB?

I'm having a double mastectomy for LCIS and family history. I thought I had finally decided no to SNB but now MRI shows multiple cysts(benign) and moderate density.  So I'm back to thinking there could be little nasties hiding in there. 

What did you do?  SNB or not?  One or both sides?  I'm glad I'm in a position to choose, but hate to think I could get it wrong...

    there is some new procedure where they can mark the nodes and take them out later, if any invasive bc is found during bilat masts.   If you can have that done, you can decrease the risk of lymphedema.
