SELF CHECKING AFTER A DOUBLE MASTECTOMY AND LOBULAR CANCER
Hi all, I have just had my reconstruction which hasn't been successful..(that's another long story) but I am wanting to know if any one had Lobular Cancer , double mastectomy and breast implants? ...
@roylej
I hope someone else can assist you (my cancer was quite different) but I would be making a list of questions for your oncologist, as early as possible, as this seems to be remarkably vague and unhelpful advice. I assume the reference to lymph nodes are around the armpit (they are found in many places in the body!) but even though I had a lot of nodes removed (many were enlarged, but only one malignant) I could not feel them at all prior to surgery. I hope you get some clearer advice very soon. Best wishes.
