mastectomy or partial mastectomy?
In Feb.09 I had a partial mastectomy,BUT.......most of these ladies indicate mastectomies;one of which I read that stated basically that it is protocol for Her2+ (mine being Her2+ stage IIa grade 3) which I understand,in my case being the most aggressive! Now I wonder If I did the right thing? I would appreciate ANY input on this please. Joanna J
