I ended up having quite a lengthy discussion with the surgeon as to why he thought lumpectomy would be better and made my decision from there. The surgeon agreed that he would do a double mastectomy if that was what I decided on but after going through all of my options and the reasoning behind them, I opted for a lumpectomy. It is so confronting and you wonder if you have made the right decision but in the end you can only make a decision at the time based on the information you have. Ask the surgeon questions and get as much info as you can so that you can feel confident in the decision you make.
