Mts,

Christine had a lumpectomy in 1990. Had a recurrence but not in the breast. There was a study done last year which said that the prognosis is the same for a lumpectomy or masectomy.

After Chris made her decision for a lumpectomy, her surgeon was delighted and told her that she was happy with the decision. "If there is no recurrence, great; if there is, we can always go back and take the whole breast.

Mastectomy Versus Lumpectomy

Your tumors could be considered small.
