[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 631427, member: 1550"] I had a microcalcification that was Stage 0 cancerous 18 years ago. I may never have had cancer if I had done nothing, they now say, but I'm the nervous sort so I made them do a masectomy. I'm glad I did. Absolutely no problem since. These are very, VERY VERY slow growing. Stage 0 means they haven't even left the ducts and a lumpectomy should do the trick forever. I did, however, take the newer genetics test to make sure I'm not "prone" to female cancers and I'm not. But if you do have early cancer and cancer in the family, sometimes it is advised to take the genetics test just to be sure.They can do proactive care if it comes back that you are prone to female cancers. A few stars have had the precautions done when the genetics test came back positive for this gene...Kristina Applegate is one (God, hope I got her name right). She is doing fabulously well. Relax. This is not a deadly deal. The biopsy is pretty easy and doesn't hurt. Did the doctor reassure you like mine did me? [/QUOTE]
