My husband wants me to put off my lumpectomy another month because he'll be out of town on the surgery date. is there a chance it can become invasive ?

Talk to surgeon: This is something you need to get feedback from your doctors. If the tumor is an aggressive one, waiting would likely not be a good idea. But it has a low risk of metastasis , it will then be your choice. I would prefer early intervention since it is not easy to predict how a tumor may behave.
