Thanks for your story and suggestions. Mind if I ask why the Lumpectomy failed?

Also have been surfing/reading until I'm blue on all the various options. The pics scared the heck out of me and why I'm thinking of a double now, not after radiation or more microcalc recurrence biopsies. A plastic surgeon I spoke with said I don't have enough fat to use for a post-radiation tram-flap rebuild (thanks, I think?! ) and I have an appt for a 2nd opinion next month.

Also met w/ the radiation oncologist today so my noggin is definitely "full" with lots of mental chewing to do by tomorrow.

Thanks again, it helps.
