[QUOTE="klmno, post: 297762, member: 3699"] I'm really sorry that you have to go thru this. I have known of very succesful stories regarding breast cancer and 1 horrible one. The horrible one had these conditions: they found the lump and determined it was cancerous. The woman was around late 50's to 60yo and smoked. She was also on estrogen and medications for arthritis. The dr's spent a lot of time doing a lot of tests, therefore, no actual treatment was given for almost 6 mos. They had found that it had spread to her lymph nodes and I heard that it hadn't spread anywhere else, however, there was a suspicious "spot" on her liver or kidney or something like that. Eventually, they decided to do chemo. She had one treatment, then suffered a stroke a couple of days later and within a week had a heart attack and passed away. Sincerely, I'm not telling you this for you to feel worse. There are MANY success/recovery stories. But I would suggest getting a second opinion regarding treatment options, don't wait too long, and pay special attention if you have any of the other health risks along with it. To answer your question, I'm not sure exactly about the treatment options but if it were me and I could have a breast removed and that would almost assure me that the cancer wouldn't come back, that breast (or both) would be gone.
