Asked By:J Bubb in Louisville, KY

I underwent bilateral mastectomies approximately 4 1/2 years ago. I was diagnosed with stage zero cancer. I have no lymph node involvement or spreading of the cancer. I did not undergo chemotherapy or radiation treatment following my surgeries . I have been routinely followed since my surgeries and of had no additional problems or positive tests, I had a banana mass removed from my ovary , but I remained cancer free. I have also had genetic testing done and I am not a carrier of the beach a gene.
