Tonight I spoke with my Oncologist. He is an amazing man and he said that he has been working on compiling the numbers that would help someone like me answer my question. The one in the earlier post, am I the 75% of the 10% since I am a Triple Negative? He said there are no stats for this yet, and to go back to the known big number. Leaving me at 10%, which is only a 9% difference. The short term recurrence rate is 10% if I do the lumpectomy but long term success rate is the exact thing. I am pretty sure I am going to go for the lumpectomy because I can always go to the mastectomy if the caner returns. I have a 90 % chance that it won't. D posed a question to me today. If the cancer was in my leg with the exact same sats what would I do? I didn't have to think, I'd keep the leg. My surgery is scheduled for July 1st. I have a few weeks to decide.
