@orienteer wow you've been able to move quickly in talking to people. I am hoping that you find clarity and peace about your decision. Myself.... I think I'm almost there, but waiting on 2 more test results before I commit in my mind. It's scary... I'm at Stage 0, but still cancer non-invasive. It would be nice to save my nipple and areola, however my DCIS location is closer to the chest wall and i also have a fibroadenoma in the same breast... I just want it all out.... I'm horrified of taking any radiation... so many have said they regretted it, b/c they ended up doing a Mastectomy later.... It truly is a personal decision. Stay in touch.. there are so many on this support group that have been wonderful sharing their experiences... Bottom Line is you have to do what's in your heart for you. You know your own body better than anyone. I'm right there with ya....
God's blessings and guidance for making the best decision for our own situations. :>)

@birdie60 Hi! I misstated my grade—it’s also Stage 0. I also have a “level” , which is low, or 1. I’m learning as far as I can, but man, it’s a lot,, especially when you throw in all of the emotions! It all takes so much time, and you can’t avoid thinking about it during all the scheduling and appointments—that doesn’t help! Just as you wished me, I’m sending you strength for the journey, and trust in your decisions. We will get through this!!
