My Doctor didn't give me a choice, per se. He said I needed a lumpectomy.

Then performed the lumpectomy and couldn't get clean margins. So, 4 days later

I had a mastectomy.

He also wouldn't take the good breast. I see some of the group had options

like that but he said he would not take a non-diseased breast.

At eh time, I was only considering removing both. But, he and two other

surgeons (not in the same group) said they do not take healthy body parts. I

was

amazed to see as many women in here say they had that done.

love & hugs,
