Blossom1961 that is good to hear. That is the exact trade-off, though, isn't it? Losing a whole breast when (in my case) it's not yet clear if that is needed/gaining certainty vs less drastic surgery/increased uncertainty. I suppose the 'worst' that could happen at this stage is I have the excision, they test the margins and end up telling me I still need the mastectomy. Had convinced myself a week ago that mastectomy was they way to go but then they came up with this new plan which, I must admit, makes me feel less scared and emotional but comes at a cost to certainty.
