I think each person has to make decision that is right for them. I was recently diagnosed with idc & given option of mastectomy or lumpectomy and I chose the lumpectomy so I could continue having mammograms. However, my aunt also had a mastectomy thinking she would not get breast cancer again and it came back again in that same breast. Fortunately, she recovered again. After a mastectomy, she couldn’t have mammograms, so had I not had this family history I might would have chosen differently. You never know what you may face, but my thoughts & prayers are with you all for continued recovery as it seems an impactful process. My surgery is Tuesday & for today I’m at peace and grateful that I have this another day.
