You need to do what feels right for YOU. I went into my first appt with my breast surgeon last November quite sure I wanted a double mastectomy. She told me all about the lumpectomy option and how she felt that would be fine considering my age, lump position etc so I went with her recommendation.
Felt like I'd done the wrong thing almost immediately and have subsequently had a double mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. I now feel like I finally got back on the right "train" after getting on the wrong one initially...
Lesson learned - go with my gut - it's usually right...
