Decision Time - Need Advice

[jra40]

I am down to one more cycle of Taxol and Herceptin which will finish on June 28th. I have my MRI scheduled then will be meeting with my surgeon to decide on what type of surgery I will be getting. He wants to save as much as my breast as possible but I still feel like going with a double mastectomy to cut back on recurrence.

This is where I really need advice from all of you that have been through the experience. I have seen some of you having a lumpdectomy but then having to go back for a mastectomy. I do not want to go through this again in the future and if a mastectomy will cut the recurrence rate then I really want to consider it.

Any advice for me would be greatly appreciated!
