My other question is this...and this has happened to someone I know. If there's a family history of breast cancer and breast cancer is detected in one of the breasts, in Ontario they'll remove that breast but not the other one because that would be considered cosmetic. However, with this particular individual, two years after the breast was removed, she received a diagnosis of stage 3 breast cancer in the second breast. Why wouldn't they have removed both?
