I am not a doctor and I cannot tell you what to do, but I was also young when I was diagnosed in my 30’s. The decisions we make should be considered differently (not more or less carefully) than someone in their 70’s. Not just because we still have more life to live with the decisions we make but there are also many things to consider.
Women who get cancer under the age of 45 tend to have a little more aggressive types of cancer, not always but it is worth looking at.
I did not have children so that consideration was easier in regards to worrying about them. It was also one of the reasons I decided not to adopt.
Do you need or want breasts for child rearing? Also your mate will have something to add to this conversation.
Can I give you the third degree about your cancer, so that I can understand your situation? Pull up a chair and let’s talk.
First if all, you don’t have to make a snap decision today, when is your follow up appointment? Did they tell you about the markers for your cancer? Hormone receptors, or her2 for example?

Thank you for your reply. Hormone receptors are positive. Genetic testing came back negative. Lobular hyperplasia is risk factor for future Cancer.
