I was ready to have them both whacked off but my Surgeon pretty much refused it. She didn't actually refuse but was very opionated that a lumpectomy and radiation held the same statistics as a mastectomy. So I did the lumpectomy. I am Her2++, Grade II. I don't think that made a difference because my cancer was very agressive and had appeared and advanced in one year...sherryg683
