Have decided to go with a lumpectomy and radiation. I hope I have made the right choice. It was a very hard decision. I am also waiting on a BRCA testing, if it comes up positive my surgery choice will change.

Blessings to you, and stay strong.

Hello Kandisn- I don't know what year you did this lumpectomy. The only date I see is January 24th, no year. Or, it could just be that my brain is spinning after recent positive Invasive Lobular cancer and I'm missing the year. I am also choosing to just the lumpectomy w/radiation. Knowing full well genetic testing or additional biopsy might change things. I'm scheduled for this coming Thursday (5th). Sentinel node will be checked at the same time. Monday, I have the smartclip inserted. Thursday is surgery. I am curious how your lumpectomy went and if there were any surprises? I am told I will need an MRI w/contrast once a year. I feel that is my insurance for any future breast cancer. I could just be naive since I'm just starting the journey. I hope you are doing well.
