I only had a lumpectomy on the effected breast. I guess they figured if it came back in the breast, that would be the least of my problems, as long as it didn't come back in a major organ. Since I am scanned so often, I don't worry too much about it coming back in the breast. Sometimes I wish I would have just had them whacked off because I really can't stand my breasts now. I actually HATE them sometimes, don't like them touched or anything. I know this is bad and something I need to work through...sherryg
