Having a lumpectomy and concerned that the surgeon might remove areola. will this be the case?

Depends: This depends on where your cancer is located. I recommend you meet with your surgeon again she/he can discuss the details and show where the incision will be placed. If the tumor is near the nipple, then a breast mrican be helpful.
