I was told lumpectomy was just as good, unless I wanted to have a mastectomy! But - due to breast size, if they needed to go back in, because of poor margin, it would then be a mastectomy. Mammograms given 3 yearly here (after 50) but in my experience never happen on time - usually late! Like you Spitfire I was not given any info re density. Still haven't been. I think in UK now they have to tell you if breasts dense.
