I am not sure what type of bc you have but I had dcis and was given choice of lumpectomy and radiation or mastectomy. I opted for a double mastectomy and reconstruction.

Ask lots of questions from the nurses and surgeons about recurrence and being pregnant if you go through surgery etc. good luck and I hope all goes with with both your pregnancy and your diagnosis.
