Get it out now or wait and think?
Hi, I'm newly diagnosed hormone positive her2 negative. I had my first appointment with my surgeon and was told my diagnosis a week ago. I was told to consider lumpectomy with radiation or mastectomy....

Thanks for checking in @MrsMorrisey.
After lots of chasing my surgeon for some answers and being made to feel like I was hysterical and annoying, I have an appointment in a few days so I can FINALLY ask my questions. I've made an appointment with another surgeon for the following week. I know it stretches out the process but I have just wasted a week and a half with with no action or answers so I'll see if I get a better feel with the second surgeon. I know I won't get different options, I'm just needing some guidance.
At this stage, purely from my own research and speaking to people who have recently gone through it, I'm leaning toward double mastectomy. The only thing I have been sure of in this decision is that when this is all over, other than the cancer to be gone, I'd like both breasts to look and feel the same.
