Rolled the dice with a lumpectomy and lost the dice roll.
I’m 95% sure I’m going to go double mastectomy with reconstructive surgery using my more than ample abdominal fat. Looks like it’s very localized dcis and small. Lymph nodes look fine. Other side is fine but why fafo? I’ve had surgeries before for different things and think this will make my lifetime total 12. Couple weeks until I speak to the surgeon. Anyone gone that route on reconstructive surgeries and can tell me about it? I’m otherwise reasonably hale and in my early 50s. Better now than older and weaker I think. Might have them both in one day if I’m lucky. I might even get to dodge chemo and radiation. It really is small. We’ll see.

do you have the breast cancer gene? if not, your surgeon might not want to remove the health breast. I asked my surgeon about doing a double mastectomy rather than single and she said absolutely not.

mine tried to talk me into it 6 years back and I had rolled the dice on 2 rounds of could eventually become cancer lumps. So that’s that I think. Lymph nodes turn out to be clear and I’ll probably dodge radiation and chemo. So she’ll probably go for it if I say ok fine.
