I too was Stage 2A and I had lumpectomy and radiation (all 3 of my opinions were the same - lumpectomy) so that's what I did. I am over 6 years out and I am doing well.

I figure that if anything ever happens again (a new DCIS or something), I would probably have a bilateral masectomy but all is well for me now.
