Hi Sarah,
Thanks for responding. It's such a big decision to make, mastectomy or not but I went back to see my surgeon for more information yesterday to help me make an informed decision.

I think that is pretty good odds at the moment and are now leaning towards Radiotherapy and Tamoxilen instead of mastectomy/reconstruction. It's a huge decision to make especailly when I have been told it is unnecessary in my situation but it is a personal decision. Was also told if I had mastectomy I would not have to have radiation but still have to have Tomoxilen. Amanda
