I’m so sorry that this happened to you @May2024! I hope your recovery is going well. Your pathology results confirm that you made the right decision, even though I know it can’t have been easy for you. My first reaction to my surgeon raising the possibility of a mastectomy for me was that it felt drastic, but she then mentioned that if I had breast conserving surgery again, she couldn’t guarantee that I wouldn’t need a third surgery. After a few days to sit with it, I’m now open to exploring my options. I think once I know the MRI results, and understand how much of the breast she will take, my decision might become easier. I may reach out with questions once I have those results. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me.
