Hi there,
You have certainly had a lot going on. I've had breast cancer twice, 12 years apart and the first time I had a lumpectomy then had to have a mastectomy in Oct 2013 ( other breast) as I had 2 areas of invasive cells. I chose to have a double mastectomy to remove the risk of returning. I had immediate reconstruction but have now had implants removed as the first breast which had radiation 12 years ago had problems with healing. Now, finally I am happy that my risk of breast cancer returning is over and I love my new flat chest and comfy singlets. Everyone has been so supportive which is lovely.
Go into your next meeting armed with questions and ideas. Take time to consider the options and don't feel pressured into doing something you are not happy with.
Cheers
Sue
