Hi. I think sometimes the biggest challenge we have when given our diagnosis is having to then make decisions. I have stage 3 her2 and had to make the decision of single or double mastectomy. That nearly did my head in. I ended up making my decision on talking to my surgeon and GP. I decided on a bilateral. I am concerned about lymphedema now but have been given good advice from an OT. You will make the right decision and when you do I hope your mind will be a little calmer. All the best. ??  Airlie
