I was diagnosed with with DCIS ER POSITIVE and also question myself what's better. One surgeon suggested lumpectomy, radiation and medication while another one was leaning towards mastectomy saying no radiation and sides effects from it , no medication afterwards and their sides effects , no mammograms in the future , no recurrence of breast cancer period . Sounds great but I still don't know what I should choose .... I am 53 . Still one last consult with another doctor . I am on the same boat.... double mastectomy is serious procedure and I rather avoid it I guess but if my genetic results will show mutation..... then I think I need it. Hugs to you and every woman in this group !!!!! Be strong ! Heads down to all of you , strong ladies who went and who going through this HORRIBLE DIAGNOSIS ! I am far away from being strong .....❤️🙏🏻
