Should I Wait For A While To Do Breast Removal Surgery?
My name is Becky Lee, I am a Breast Cancer Gene Carrier which is passed from my father, I know the best solution is to have the breast remove surgery. However, I want to know what if I rather to monitor it for a while and make up my mind. In this case, am I taking higher risk than just to have the surgery immediately?

Yes.
In risk carriers we advice the earlier the better.
But if close followup is guaranteed and patient is willing we adopt the wait and atch policy till the lump is detected...
Continue your umyearly mammograms and monthly seld breast examinations
