A simple lumpectomy and radiation has the SAME or BETTER cure rate than a mastectomy. Mastectomy is a MAJOR surgery with higher RISK of MORE side effects compared to lumpectomy. Mastectomy even with reconstruction results in WORSE cosmetic outcomes than lumpectomy.   FICTION I will live longer if I get a mastectomy. Breast cancer is in my family so I need a mastectomy. If I get a mastectomy I will definitely not need radiation. I have positive lymph nodes so I need a mastectomy. After mastectomy I have no breast so my cancer cannot come back in that area. Radiation will make me bald and/or I will be radioactive.
