hi skoolmum
I had a partial and nodes out as we knew from the start it was in the nodes(from my lump which was a cancerous node) then i had a wide local excision and then i had a mastectomy. My surgeon is into breast preservation so that is why it went that way. My primary site was undetectable by mammo or ultrasound and it was over 2cm. I now feel relieved to have had it all off as there might have been another lump undetectable. And i was relieved not to have to do radiation after my chemo.
As there are two obvious lumps in your breast, i would be tempted to get a mastectomy but of course i am biased. if you are HER-2+++ it tends not to be inherited.
So all the best with your decisions. Surgery, chemo and herceptin i am sure will put you in the 52%
