Masectomy vs Lumpectomy

I was diagnosed with advanced Stage III breast cancer HER2 positive estrogen/progesterine negative. Two tumors in right breast 2.5cm and 2.1cm. Also lymph nodes tested positive. I am going through neoadjunct chemotherapy now. Next week will be half way through. Next cycle will be with taxtore. After chemo is completed I will have surgery. Sister had DCIS, first cousin invasive ductual cancer, aunt invasive ductual cancer. I have had 2 lumps - one on each breast removed in previous years no cancer. Have fibrocystic disease of breasts. Would like to know individual experiences - masectomy vs lumpectomy. Thanks.
