I'm doing fine. Because of my diagnosis of invasive cancer and neuroendocrine cancer, I have to continue with PET scans, but so far (and it's been 4 years), so good. I walk daily about 3 miles and usually peter out by the afternoon and stop to rest for a bit. Let us know how you do.

@trixie1313 . It looks like you had multifocal tumors. Correct?

I am very happy for you that you are doing well. My surgeon from Memorial Sloan Kettering said that she feels lumpectomy is the route and doesn't see any problem with it besides not getting cleaned margins which she will go back with a second surgery to clean the margins. I am very tempted to do the lumpectomy, but the mastectomy feels safer. I definitely like my second surgeon. Now, I have to decide between lumpectomy and mastectomy.
