It is so important to feel confident in your team--well not so important maybe with radiation oncologist but the surgeon and oncologist are key--my surgeon made up her own mind with the different lumps shown on my breast scans--and rejected anything needed to be done on the other one and was very breast conserving in her approach. i didnt have all the scans you mentioned. There is also intersting research coming out of usa that 70% of mascetomies are not needed--
my experience is that i wasnt overly concerned about the surgery at the time but afterwards discovered that surgeon was so through --but also that the incision line is around the nipple so you cant even see the operation line or 'scar'--not a question i would even ask and i just assumed i would have a scar a few inches across; im just wary of surgeons or oncologists who seem to be automatic--or conservative in the worst way--both my specialists really looked at the results and then explained rationale etc
All the best
