Have a full discussion with the surgeon on mastectomy. Even with mastectomy, they cannot remomve all breast tissue so there is still a possibility of breast cancer again. Also, they have to cut through a lot of nerves which can cause pain. My breast surgeon removed most all of my breasts so I' now about a bra size "A" which is fine with me. I did have electric shocks from the nerve regrowing but they are gone now. Let us know how you do.
