Although I cannot tell you what to do, I can share my experience. Please know that not one person with BC is the same as another person. That is what makes BC insanely confusing, however, the good news is that you are never alone.

I was diagnosed with BC in the left breast in Sept 2023. Was given the option of a lumpectomy or mastectomy as the tumor was seen early on mammogram and was 2mm in size. I chose a lumpectomy the first time, pathology came back and the margins were not clear, The second lumpectomy was inconclusive, then I opted for a mastecomy with a tissue expander placement for future reconstruction the third time. I am currently waiting for my next surgery date for reconstruction.

Girl, TRUST your instincts as you learn more about your options and know that you will make the right decision for you. It took me a long time to decide what I wanted. Take as long as you need to make the most informed decsion. You are a warrior!

Wishing you well!
