@arpie - My surgeon left the decision up to me as to whether I had a SMX or Lumpectomy. He believes my tumour is about 3cm. I have no breast cancer anywhere in my family but I guess it's gotta start somewhere. :) My husband is being really supportive but I don't want to burden him with talking about it. He says it doesn't bother him and is there if I want to talk. The hardest part for me is my youngest daughter (she is 20) was at home when I found out and then we had to put her on a plane back to America as she is attending college over there on a scholarship and is so worried.
