Hello,
I was diagnosed with breast cancer last week.  Although I am not a doctor and don't have the answers for you, but, I decided to get mastectomy because I was in the process of getting a breast reduction.  My other breast will be a reduction.  For the question, ask your doctor because I was told in my situation I may not have to have chemo or radiation because they don't know yet.  I hope your mom is doing ok.
