What is the right choice ?

Hi

It is a very personal choice and only you know whats best and most comfortable to deal with 

I found writing down pro's and cons helped me and talking  it through with my BC nurse  

I had around the same size tumor removed back in January but only 5 nodes by mastectomy ,my choice down to me not wanting to have to go back in if margins were not clear

I was given the choice I can go back in 12 months for reconstruction after all my treatment plan is finished 

mine was sent for onco type test and came back at 28 this changed my original plan to  having chemo , radio after then on hormone tablets for 5 years 

Take Care

Reading the pros and cons is a good preparation for making such a decision; what is left to do is view them against your own personal priorities, and the long term impact of each option, as you see yourself.

If you feel that opting for a lumpctomy may leave you with heightened concerns, that would point towards going with a mastectomy. If, on the other hand, the idea of the losing the entire breast is impacting very negatively, that might point in the other direction. As stubborn said, writing it all down can help.
