It will stop the cancer from spreading, so its sort of a preventive procedure. |

If the cancer cells are still in the breast tissue then a mastectomy is necessary. |

but if there is only one breast affected do they only remove one breast? |

my sister in law had one breast removed, so yes, if only one breast has the cancer cells then they only remove that. |

there's also chemo. i think the doctors will exhaust all those first before removing a breast or both. |

Yes, I think a mastectomy is the final option during breast cancer. |

I just thought that it would be a pity to lose your breasts and then have chemo. but it is still better than not doing anything I guess. |
