I recently was diagnosed with DCIS/LCIS. I had one breast remove and had implant put in. Now I was told I have abnormal cells in the good one. Should I remove it now or take the chance and wait? I could use some opinions.

    Wow. What a predicament. I personally need time to research every aspect of everything the doctors tell me. How often were you having mammograms to this breast? How quickly did this show up from your last mammo? What doctor gave you this news? Did he/she have any input? Have you looked it up in the Dr. Susan Love's Breast Cancer book? I would weigh all the information I could get my hands on...
