So glad you posted this

Hi Rebecca

I am so glad that you posted this question. I am currently having pre-op chemo to shrink my tumour (which is working so far, hooray), as my Onc is pretty much insistant that lumpectomy with rads is the way to go.

At first I was hugely resistant, and as Sherry said, I argued to have a double mastectomy, but didn't win.

The more I think about it the more rational sense it seems to make to go with the lumpectomy if the tumour shrinks sufficiently.

What did you decide in the end?

take care, Jin
