Newly Diagnosis
Found out last friday i was dignosised with breast cancer im only in my early 40's it has been a very hard to deal with.
My surgeon recommended a full mastectomy. He would have considered a partial but felt the full would be wiser. I might have been tempted by a lumpectomy if offered, but it wasn't. Turned out one lymph node was affected too. I went for the full mastectomy and have never regretted it. Six years clear in October. Trust in your medical advisers is pretty important, if you don't feel comfortable with someone, it's worth seeking other advice. Best wishes
