am having surgery in a couple of weeks for early stage IDC right breast. PS said I am too old and too many underling health conditions for reconstruction.(age 77) Now I am having trouble deciding on how much surgery to have. Lumpectomy with possibility of mastectomy down the road. or R breast mastectomy and feel lopsided or bilateral mastectomy and just enjoy not worrying about bras. Anybody out there have a suggestion. I am really concerned about reoccurrence and then having more surgery at an even older age.
P.S. I doubt that any one will ever again see me with out my clothes excepting medical personnel and the undertaker.
