I had 2 lumpectomies- ER/PR- and HER2+++; no nodes. The tumors were all in the same quadrant and undetecable under mammo and U.S.
Did chemo and rads...
I pondered almost one month regarding mastectomy vs. lumpectomy. After 4 surgical opinions, all the women docs said mastectomy and the men docs said lumpectomy. My inner voice said lumpectomy... Today, after reading all this stuff about recurrance rates and ER/PR- negative stuff, I would still have the lumpectomy. Scientifically, both procedures are very close in success comparisons. In hte end, follow your inner voice.
