Hi - I am new to this forum - been diagnosed with breast cancer in right Breast low grade 15mm tumour herceptin negative hormone receptive also DCIS in right breast 3cm long but papillary in nature do maybe hard to have assessed full extent on X Ray . I am struggling to make a decision between lumpectomy on right & wide local excision on left with follow up licap or just have a double mastectomy with silicone reconstruction at the same time to reduce the risk in both moving forward . I have never had surgery & wanted some advice from those having had double mastectomy on recovery any regrets etc . My surgeons are keen to do preservation surgery but I am scared of the cancer returning . Any help & experiences would be gratefully received thanks X
