@lourdes2026 obviously no one can make the right decision for someone else. The questions I might ask myself and my doctor are about choices and outcomes. You know better than anyone that there are no guarantees but if you have a doctor you trust and feel you can ask, I would ask about choices and what could I expect from those choices. If you struggled with radiation the first time, you might want to make clear that would be a last choice.
If you are set against a mastectomy, I would discuss that too. Because your cancer is yours alone and the expected outcomes are as well. I hope you can get a great outcome from a treatment plan you can tolerate.
Have you received your biopsy results yet?
