Glad to hear that you will not be facing Chemo or radiation. No matter what stage you are at when diagnosed we all face the shock and fear of the unknown that comes with cancer.
I saw a story recently (probably during breast awareness month) about a young Dad diagnosed with BC. It highlighted the unfortunate fact that many men do not pick it up early and consequently often face more advanced cancer treatment. I'm glad that you are not in that situation.
I guess with the family history you will all be going through that nagging fear that others may have to face this dreadful disease in the future. Living with that hovering in the background would be unsettling.
Hope that your surgery goes well and you are soon on the road to recovery. Let us know how you go.
