Staging breast CA: The stage will be affected by the presence in lymph nodes, but if it is in the opposite breast, it will be a second primary which will be staged independently. It's commonplace to have a primary on each side and still get a good outcome

Need Oncologist: You have asked a thoughtful and important question. That has to be answered by a qualified oncologist. It is complicated and depends on protocols and full knowledge of your situation. If you are not sure of an answer from one oncologist get a second opinion from another.
I am not an oncologist and not qualified to give the answer you deserve.
