My mum has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. I'm going to see the breast nurse with her prior to surgery next week. I'm sure there are lots of things I should be asking. Has anyone been in this situation. What should I be asking? As far as I am aware, they are due to be planning a lumpectomy at this stage. Can she ask for a mastectomy - I think she would rather have this to be sure it's all gone. Any advice would be most welcomed. TIA.
