Absolutely! I agree with everything you wrote! Be assured the lumpectomy is pretty easy to recover from but I too was extremely nervous before the first one. By the 3rd, it was old hat. Ha Those things lurking in the future are what keep us awake at night, right? Cancer or pre-cancer - all the same. Our lives have still been turned upside down for awhile.

The hardest part is the decision whether to just do the lumpectomy … knowing you might keep going through this or go for the full mastectomy right? The full breast radiation convinced me ( at this point) but we will always be waiting for the next scan won’t we? Yeah, life has definitely changed but it is what is and I’m feeling pretty lucky so far!
