I hope today is a better day,Yorkiegirl, and you did get some good sleep! I have always believed that, no matter what they say, the mastectomy route is the way to go to be sure they get it all. I think that is one of the reasons why I have lived 20 years fighting cancer. When I was first diagnosed in 1985 mastectomies were "out of fashion" and lumpectomies were in. My sister was in her 7th year of fighting cancer and died later that year. When I called her to tell her my diagnosis she was adament about my doing a full modified radical and not a lumpectomy. I followed her advice, and since the other breast showed calcification, had that removed, too. I have never regretted it, and think I am still alive because of that decision. Listen to your body and make the doctors listen to you! Hang in there and keep on keeping on! And I love the picture of your yorkies! Hugs, Tricia
