caveat
just in case someone thinks I am advocating people not have surgery for breast cancer you are WAY OFF THE MARK.
I am not advocating anything and would never recommend anyone any course of treatment or nontreatment. I am only well-read and attend quite a few conferences and wanted to let you know that there are new ways of thinking about how bc occurs, whether it metastasizes early, whether it might be a stem cell disease, that people are rethinking how they treat it surgically and radiation-therapywise.
Thinking about it shouldn't do any harm.
Discussing it with doctors shouldn't do any harm.
Having done the thinking and the discussing, one should be able to feel more comfortable with whatever decision one makes.
Hope this helps.
