Week later I go back to see the surgeon and he tells me. Yes the tumor was cancer and I have two choices! Take the boob off or have (Lumpectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing a suspected malignant (cancerous) tumor, or lump, and a small portion of the surrounding tissue from a woman's breast. This tissue is then tested to determine if it contains cancerous cells. A number of lymph nodes may also be removed to test them for cancerous cells (sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary dissection). If cancerous cells are discovered in the tissue sample or nodes, additional surgery or treatment may be necessary. Women who undergo a lumpectomy normally receive radiation therapy.) I asked his advice and he said there was no need to have the boob off as it would be the same outcome. So I decided on the Lumpectomy. So surgery was booked.
