I have to disagree with you. If she should get cancer she would be a lot worse off -- possibly risking death. She decided it was not worth waiting to find out -- she would rather live with a lower cancer risk without breasts.

Maybe, you would decide differently, and that is your right.

The real question for me is did the surgery actually reduce her risk of cancer.

My wife has a family history of breast cancer and I can tell you these are very real, very important decisions.
