Yes that was what I was told too. If I can ask did you do bilateral or unilateral? We’re you given the option of lumpectomy? Just trying to get as much info as I can

@tdw10 I did two mastectomies, separately, because my docs wanted to see how my body handled one before doing the other. I never considered lumpectomy, frankly, regardless of statistics. Especially with any ILC and lymphovascular invasion. The mastectomy also enabled me to avoid radiation which would have concerned my doctors (lupus). I was told one out of five radiologists would have recommended it. The Dana Farber tumor board's plan was mastectomy (my choice) and aromatase inhibitors. I am 8 1/2 years out.

My non-cancer breast had atypical dysplasia and was full of cysts that were making me uncomfortable.
