Michele, I do kind of agree with Lani. I first thought about the threat of additional surgeries when Gina was on these boards? If you recall, she mentioned that she didn't have additional reconstructive surgery because she feared that the surgery would stir up her2. I think she based this on circulating imflammtory growth factors stimulated by surgery, as Lani has indicated. I also think with proper erradiation and surgery, lumpectomy is just as effective as mastectomy.In the end, I think you got to hash out the pros and cons and make your choice Michele.
