You are right my gut instinct is to have the mastectomy - i do tend to be a worrier for a start and i would just never forgive myself for putting my kids through something i could have avoided, plus PLCIS is relatively new diagnosis ,so there are very few studies out there that can give me reliable statistics . i don't underestimate the seriousness of a mastectomy and i know there are no guarantees, but i just think if i have been so fortunate to be given the "heads up" a lot of women don't get i need do whatever it takes to minimize my risks.
