Did you have radiation treatment?

No. I am in the beginning stages of consultations only. No set in stone decision on my course of action as of yet. I need to follow up with medical, radiation oncology, my cardiologist and plastic surgeon (reconstructive). After those visits, I will make my decision. Since I have bilateral carcinoma I am leaning towards bilateral mastectomy.
With lumpectomy, I will probably always be worried it will re-occur but I have learned even with mastectomy, cancer can occur again. Yikes!
