Hi 

I was diagnosed in May. I was given the choice too. My area to be removed was quite large. 
 

I was worried if I had a lumpectomy I'd have no boob left. However, my nurse explained that if possible they recommend keeping as much of your boob as poss. 
 

I went for a lumpectomy in the end. I figured that if they didn't get clear margins then I may have to consider a masectomy as a second operation. 
 

They got clear margins and my surgeon has worked wonders. In fact, my poorly boob is more perky than my non-poorly one. My cancer was on the outer side of my left breast so I still have exactly the same cleavage etc. 
 

I have a scar that runs over top of my nipple and down the side of my boob to my chest. Apart from one tiny area it has healed amazingly well. I am so pleased with the decision I made :) 

Whatever you decide will be the right choice. 
 

Hope it all goes well. My treatment has all gone smoothly. 
 

Love Sarah xx
