Re: Decision Time - Need Advice
Louise, in the big picture that is what I based my decision on at the very last minute. I figured my oncologist was the one saving my life so I went for the mastectomy. Although my surgeon was great , I also had some staging problems with one saying stage 1 and one saying stage 2 and my surgeon was right all along, I ended up being a stage 1. I am sure that I will feel better once I have the reconstruction. Thank you for your wise words.
