Not an aggressive cancer in the grand scheme of things but still scary. Not sure yet if I need a lumpectomy or mastectomy. More biopsies next week to ascertain the size of the problem & decisions to be made from there. 

Hopefully it's a lumpectomy, has anyone had this & if so how long after tge operation were you able to get back to "normal " activities?

I will also need radiotherapy. Just how debilitating is this?
