help to make a decision

Being rushed with not all info is not a great combination.  my experience is that my surgeon thought it was a small lump and she drew a little diagram and then said she would do a lumpectomy and although I usually like a collegial relationship with doctors I'm glad I didn't make the decision although difficult to argue against her assessment of mammogram, ultrasounds and then biopsy. From memory she thought lymph gland was ok but turned out micromet   If I was given the choice it wouldn't be a great time as it would have been fear based.  In this way I was guided by her.  The lumpectomy was pretty straight forward: had a week off work and one overnight stay in hospital which I would do again: I don't quite get how lumpectomy Can be day surgery.  I assumed I would have a great scar and as I'm into them was ok with that but surgeon went in via nipple line so no scar.  A year later I was complementing her on this and she said "it helps recovery" and she's right: so there was no adjusting to self image or drains or scans.  Went on to wait impatiently for radiation: again no lasting problems : I do have appreciation for my rather simple, straight forward treatment plan: minimum all disruption to health, life, family or work : good luck!
