Is it irrational to want a complete masectomy + immediate reconstruction withoutbhaving breast cancer?

I had 7 (now 5) benign breast tumors. I got two removed last thursday because they bothered me. Breast cancer runs in my family and im scared I'll be dignosed with eventually and just want to get it over with now. That and I want to workout without losing breast fat. (Insecurity)

Benign. You said they are benign. If so, I think that they ate benign masses, not tumors (I think these latter are malign/malignant).

You should consult oncologists in this area about

• the type(s) of breast cancer which your family has had,
• are your many benign masses at a young age consistent with any form of breast cancer (including the kind(s) which your family has had)?,
• would genetic testing help to answer your fears?

Concern makes sense. Overreacting does not. This is a weighty decision. Consider it well, soberly.
