Just a quick update, but Mandy saw her surgeon today, and he informed us that all of her lymph nodes were negative, there was no cancer in them, so she is clear. He said her chances of recurrence were 1 to 3%. She will require increased scanning and followup for the next couple of years, but we are so relieved.
As to my genetic followup, I do not have any abnormalities in the BRAC 1 or 2 genes, I will require some more close screening, because of the familiar cluster, but this is good news and I am so relieved. Now I do not have decide if I want to have double mastectomy because it is not even on the table at this point. Yeah!
