Regret you did not do profyl. mastectomy?

No, I don't regret not having a prophylactic mastectomies.  And I say that as someone who has been diagnosed with BC (and required a single mastectomy as a result), who has had 6 biopsies over the years and more aspirations than I can remember, and who has extremely dense breasts (level 4 of 4).

Let me repeat here what I just wrote in response to the other thread that you started today:

Glorianna, you and I exchanged a series of posts a couple of months ago.  You came here desperate to find a surgeon who will perform prophylactic mastectomies on you because you believe that you are high risk.  Through our exchange of notes, it became clear to me that you are terrified of breast cancer - but it appears that you are actually not high risk at all.

Your mother died of an unrelated cancer (brain, I believe). You had an ovarian tumor (but you have not indicated that it was cancer).  You have hyperplasia in your breast, but not atypical hyperplasia.  You have heterogenously dense breasts, which is normal for your age. 

Now you have an intraductal papilloma. Hopefully that's all it is - as MelissaDallas said, intraductal papillomas are benign. 

I appreciate that you are scared, and I certainly appreciate that if this biopsy uncovers breast cancer, then you will feel that your gut was right all along and you should have had the PBMX.  I understand that.

But please don't try to transfer your fear to other women.  Do what you have to do, but don't use your fears and your situation to scare other women.  That's just wrong. Every woman who comes to this forum and who is high risk has to make her own decisions based on what's right for her.  Please don't try to influence other women's decisions because of your own fears.

Good luck with the biopsy. I hope that it is benign.  

I regret it every day.  I had my left breast done 4 years ago and went thru the anguish of chemp the MRI/Mammo every 6 months.  Last year they found a 7 cm in my right breast and 15 infected nodes.  Surgery, chemo, radiation and more surgery.  And about 50% chance of making it.

And to top it all off, I passed the HNPCC gene on to my daughter and HER doctor says there is no relationship between the two!   Every other expert disagrees.
