Reine, may I ask what type of breast cancer you have? Do you know the type and stage? This can help with your decision-making and the discussions with your surgeon when deciding between lumpectomy vs mastectomy along with your personal preferences.

Thank you Colleen. I had to find an MD who can refer me to a local treatment clinic I can get to. I had testing but hopefully (as needed) I can be referred to the hospital near me. My husband had cancer and had excellent help and treatment. I didn’t know this was open to all and I might find it difficult to determine how to find the correct place where I can safely write using your directions. I don’t know how to tell the forum from the other. Are there titles to follow? I would like to do this correctly and safely. I thought my comments were done properly because of that for example I thought my email was private. So… thank you for privacy as needed explained to me. If I can’t write better within the system I’m concerned that I might be afraid to write/comment. I read your instructions above here which are well done and clearly written but I’m not quite sure I understand regarding how to tell one I’m sure I can learn however but but thought email would secure private messaging as a function. I’m sorry I did that incorrectly but like here I can’t see how to end it. How do I close this off so you can read it properly in the right place. Thank you for the explanation. I will do my best.
