      I feel as if the doctor saw me as a walking dollar sign. For a 10% chance if developing breast cancer, what he recommend was extremely drastic. Oh, but it will lower my chances of developing breast cancer by 90%. I already have a 90% of not developing breast cancer. I'll be getting a 2nd option Thank You very much.
