Lisamarie, It is a personal decision that you are making and only you can make it.
I had a mastectomy and will possibly have a reconstruction later on. My surgeon fully supported my decision of mastectomy versus lumpectomy, but was reluctant about a double mastectomy, preferring to leave that decision until some time in the future when I didn't feel so pressured because of the urgency of an operation. Almost twelve months after my mastectomy I know I have done the right thing for myself . I knew I had to have sufficient physical and mental energy after surgery to move onto chemotherapy and herceptin and that I will feel more relaxed for further decision making when these things are completed.
I am wishing you all the very best for next week and the time ahead.
