I am booked for surgery on 31st for a lumpectomy + and have had calls from my two sisters who are nurses telling me I should be having a mastectomy instead. My surgeon went over everything carefully...

Hello - trust you are well considering where you are at and getting your head around treatment options from your surgeon.
Families gotta love them! They mean well but goodness this is now about you and what you and your medical team are comfortable as the best option for you, not what they think they would like you to have.
For me personally it was mastectomy, due to size of tumour, placement of tumour and clear margins.
For you it is about lumpectomy. A decision that was arrived at after careful consideration.
Need to keep the negativity out of your mind so that you can be ready for the 31st in a positive frame of mind.
Just nod and smile and give them a hug and let them know you are in the best of hands.
You said in your post you were feeling down, I hope that is only for a short time. Remember you have us here who are either in the middle of it or on the tail end of treatment to support, to read your posts and send you a virtual hug!
Take care
