So sorry to that you had to join us on this forum.
I had a right breast mastectomy on the 10th Feb with 1 lymph node removed, although the cancer had a 10 mm clearance the lymph node had cancer so will be having an axillary clearance on the 9th March, followed by chemo & radiation.
When I was diagnosed in January I just wanted the cancer out & the DR suggested a mastectomy as it was invasive Lobular.The mastectomy was not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
I did not have the BRCA1 gene & only you can make the decision which is right for you. I hope you have a Mcgrath breast care nurse that can help & advise you. I know you will get some good advice here on the forum.
The members here are fantastic & will try & help you. I was advised to take things 1 day at a time & sometimes it comes down to 1 hour at a time. Wishing you well.
Sending big hugs to you.
