Mak thanks very much for that. I can appreciate the decisions behind both surgery & watch'n'wait. Gawd I wish someone had given me the choice three years ago. I've also speculated the the surgeon may discuss a few other things like having a MRI (which medicare doesn't pay for) or going on tamoxifen which is a 50-50 decision for women in my cohort.

Trill I'll admit to being in a bit of lather yesterday when I revisited the scene of the crime & waited to get the US done - but realistically this is a little hiccup even if I need surgery - it will be a much lesser thing than my first lumpectomy and with a much quicker recovery. Besides the lump has changed shape after the dr aspirated it yesterday so it might even be a cyst. Gonna ring the breast care nurse today and debrief/pick her brain.
