Re: lumpectomy vs. mastectomy?
I'm not stage iv but did have a lumpectomy and have a small half prosthesis which tucks in to my bra and both breasts now look identical so for me, I'd say go with the lumpectomy and I have had no regrets. Try googling Dr Susan Love where you may get more info on this issue.
