Hi Karen,
I am in exactly the same boat you are in. I just had a mass removes from my breast/chestwall and am waiting for pathology report. The answer would be simple if it was breast cancer, however it appears to be benign so far. I am 47 and have had 6 different cancers except for BC. It is a very difficult decision and nothing is 100%. I never want to repeat chemo if at all possible. Surgery is tuff but chemo is worse for me. BTW Hello to Sonja an Pan!
