Although I don't have breast cancer myself, I have numerous close relatives that have. Without fail, as far as I know, they go for a double, so they don't sit around second-guessing and worrying all the time (paraphrasing their explanation). All solutions are individual of course, both in terms of of what works for you mentally/personality-wise and what works for you medically.

Everyone will support you no matter what.
