it sounds like i'm the exception here. I had stage 3 and 35 pos. nodes. My surgeon stronger suggested to just have the lumpectomy. He said that there are so many surgeons doing the mastectomies and not giving the option. He told me then that the lumpectomy and radiation was just as effective. I haven't looked at the stats lately about the difference. I did think about having them both off now, being 2 1/2 years out, but i don't want to stress that arm anymore fearing lymphedema. I dont know what the answer is?
