So glad to come back on here and hear all of your progress!  I am so glad you had an early detection!  It saves lives!  I am glad you and your sister have each other to lean on in such an unpleasant time.  May you both find your recoveries short and bearable.  I did want to tell you that one reason I decided on a mastectomy (I did both breasts) was because I didn't want to to the radiation.  
It's such a personal choice, and there is NO wrong answer.  You have to follow your gut, and do what is right for you!
I will be thinking of you in the coming days.  Prayers being sent your way.

Hi again,

Your surgery is rapidly approaching, but maybe you could look at it this way: the sooner it comes, the sooner it's over (with less time to dread and worry about it).

Just heard an interview with Gloria Steinem. She had BC and lumpectomy when she was 58--and she's now 81!

Happy birthday, and MANY MORE of them!
