I was 53 at diagnosis and had stage IIb (stage IIIa post-op as my positive node total was 3). Surgery/treatment for early stage (I-III) intraductal breast cancer is a no-brainer for me. I suppose if I would have been over 90 or had significant other serious health issues such that my life expectancy (due to those issues) was limited, I might have opted for no surgical or other treatment.
