Hi Jenali, I had a lumpectomy also due to a bleeding nipple, I had no lumps so no one thought it would be BC, so it was quite a shock. Doc found about 2.5cm so my options were radiotherapy and chance it or a mastectomy. As you know I went with the latter, and it was my choice to do both. For peace of mind and a bit of vanity, at 47 I still wanted my boobs to look the same! So I have had my tissue expanders in since July 23 and am getting my implants on the 17th December hopefully. It's a personal decision that only you can make, I try to stay positive but I have my "why me" days too. Hope that all goes well for you and your sister.
Cheers, Jo
Oh and I love my tattoo too!
