decision
Hi
If I had my time over I would have a mastectomy. I had a lumpdectomy and then recurred 4.5 yr later...different spot in the breast and second time it was not detected by mammo. or ultrasound (25% of lumps in women between 40 and 49 are not) and was 4 cm. I now have a single met to the liver 1.5 cm and wonder if I had insisted on the breast off to start with (which is what I wanted) whether I would be in this situation now.
I know the research shows that either gives the same odds but peace of mind is not factored into that and it means a lot.
regards
Jackie
