Yes, I was asked this question and it was recorded in my notes. I believe they consider lump size in relation to breast size when planning treatment. For example, a large lump in a small breast would usually mean a mastectomy as they would have to remove the lump and a clear margin, whereas a smaller lump in a large breast could be removed with a lumpectomy. That's my understanding anyway. Amy x
I wasn't asked this until just before I went for surgery. This was so that they could give me a similar sized prosthesis to my natural breast. However, don't panic, not everyone needs a prosthesis and I agree with Amy's take on this, as the more likely ereason.
