Double Lumpdectomy or Double Mastectomy????

Hi everyone,

First time on here and have been reading such amazing and positive posts. Thank you.

I was recently diagnosed with Synchronised Bilateral Early Stage Breast Cancer with Multifocal on the right side.  My density is D so it was the MRI that showed the right side, not the mammogram.  Both sides hormone receptive invasive carcinoma. Genetic testing done, started hormone therapy so could wait the 5 weeks for results.  Should have them in 2 weeks.

I would like to know if a double mastectomy wouldn't be such a bad idea regardless of the above results.   I am 52, was peri,  and am already anxious.  From what I have read about the multiple lumpdectomy surgeries and to assure margins, combined with my density I am worried what else they may find.

So far lymph nodes clear but not yet formally biopsied.  

3 small, under 2cm tumours and lesion in right

1 small 2cm tumour in left.

Any advice, or personal experience from a similar situation, would be so helpful.   

I would like to take in as much knowledge as I can to my next appt with the surgeon so I can make an informed decision. She is gunning for a lumpdectomy if not genetic but then said in the same sentence I may need more than one surgery.

Thanks in advance.  This is such an overwhelming time.

Kind regards Aimee

Ps, not quite up with the correct terms so hopefully haven't confused anyone.
