Thank you for all those tips and suggestions. I will look them up I've meet with my surgeon, will again speak to her later today, post my mri. Mastectomy was mentioned in our conversation about treatment and moving forward as was lumpectomy, though the two areas need to be dealt with in view of best outcome, if it was just the one area it would be a different. Of course I'd love to keep my breast, who wouldn't? It wasn't easy to take all that info in, but given myself some time to let it settle. She is a lovely surgeon but at one point in our conversation needed to be frank with me, I think I needed it at the time. Surgery is book for 22nd. The journey continues
