@krisrwalters is the oncology surgeon refusing to do a mastectomy? My docs were concerned about my ability to handle that surgery so they did one at a time. I did fine. They were more concerned about radiation for me given my lupus diagnosis, not sure why.

What happens if you tell your current doctor that mastectomy is what you want? You do have a right to that choice, I would think.

I hope day 4 without hormones goes okay!

Oh no, the surgeon didnt refuse but strongly pushed for the lumpectomy and I went along with that. I'm 4 weeks out now. How did you do with your surgery given the lupus?
