Hi all
Went to see the surgeon on 21st and we have decided to do a lumpectomy as I would be unable to have reconstructive surgery latter down the track. But on a positive note he is going to give me a breast reduction to both breasts so all in all not a bad outcome as I have always wanted a breast reduction just unable to afford one. As for what treatment to follow still not sure as we don't know what sort of cancer it is or how aggressive it is until he goes in. He will also remove some lymph nodes at the same time for testing.
Surgery is on the 3rd of October, so not a long time to prepare but I think everything is in place specially with my daughter and school.
