Hello @betsyk.

Did your surgeon offer you lumpectomy and mastectomy? How did you choose?

It was a fairly easy decision as I had three locations of DCIS spread out so best cosmetic result would be a mastectomy with reconstruction. My breast surgeon did give me the option of a lumpectomy with radiation. I also, felt that for me, a mastectomy would give me best possible long term outcome. I had breast cancer 25+ years earlier. This was a new primary. I hope this helps
