First: Get a good team of docs including surgeons, oncologists and a genetic counselor. Breast cancer at 28 strongly suggests an inherited trait. If so, it could affect the choice of surgery. Second, get all the info you can about the disease in reputable websites like the acs or the nci. Finally, always have an open and honest communication line with your docs. Trust the good lord and fight well.
