Lumpectomy vs. Mastectomy: Only You Can Choose

By PJ Hamel, Health Guide Thursday, October 19, 2006


Take the time to look deep into yourself for the treatment option that feels right. If you need help, ask your doctor if there’s a service at the hospital that deals with medical decision-making; and if there is, use it. You may be waffling right up to the moment you make that phone call to the surgeon; that’s OK, too. When push comes to shove, you’ll make a decision. Go forward with enthusiasm; don’t second-guess yourself. Have you made the right decision? Yes. You’ve made the decision that’s right for YOU.
