It's probably not the politically correct thing for me to say, but I too had multi-focal sites. I said "Chop it off!"
I opted for a mastectomy and chemo instead of double lumpectomy, radition. In fact, with dirty margins I"m surprised they even attempted to conserve the breast.
As for the other side, I too had a lump over there. The core biopsy revealed no evidence of malignancy. So, it doesn't necessarily transfer.
Also, the biopsy I had under anesthesia left far less bruising than did the core needle biopsy. Still bruised~!
Keep us posted. Let us know what you decide and how it goes.
