Mastectomy vs lumpectomy/radiation for Stage 2

Exactly! Your very welcome.

Hi Sorry you are even faced with this decision in your life. For me it was easy, I decided on bilateral mastectomy due to having 8 previous breast biopsies over 9 years. I had very dense breasts and everything was looking suspicious so I had enough! But yes it's a personal decision since both outcomes are about the same. Obviously easier recovery with lumpectomy than mastectomy. Mastectomy involves drains, expanders if your not having trans flap or nothing if your going flat. If expanders then it's another surgery to place implants plus replacing implants years later depending on plastic surgeon recommendation. If you have lumpectomy, will you feel stressed over the years of having mammo's or maybe that won't bother you. Just giving you some of the things I thought about over the years. Best wishes with your decision, we are always here for you! Hugs.
