If you choose to have a lumpectomy, still you know, you're going to live a normal life, you're going to look normal. Cosmetically, its wonderful. I just went to have a six month check-up at my radiation oncologist and, of course, saw a PA who did the exam. And she looked at me and she said, on which breast did we do surgery on? You couldn't see hardly immediately after surgery. And if in the future we do have to do surgery again and have a mastectomy as the next option, I still fully believe that had I have to make the decision again, it would still be a lumpectomy, because I look at myself in the mirror everyday and say, thank you God for sending me to the surgeon who helped me make this decision. |
