The biggest question is lumpectomy vs mastectomy? Any lymph node effected?
If possible, have a friend / family member on call. Two sets of ears better then one.

Check out these two web site for possible questions.

First is two page list of questions that are good starting point:

Oh my goodness, what a great set of resources. Thank you so much for sharing these links - it’s greatly appreciated. My consultation is Wednesday and the more I know in prep for that session, the better. Many thanks!!

Those cover the topics that eventually came up on their own in my situation...great resources to have ahead of time! Thank you for sharing.
