Radiotherapy or masectomy

Hi there @Shiro I was diagnosed last year with triple neg breast cancer grade 3 stage 2a left side aged 43 all scans clear no lymph nodes involved either. I was given the choice of left mastectomy and chemo or left lumpectomy and chemo and rads I chose mastectomy and chemo only as I didn’t want both and also didn’t want more surgery in case the margins weren’t clear and glad I did as on the scan it said the tumor was 1.8cm and when it was removed it was actually 3 so  then I took the other boob off 6 months later by choice no regrets from me. On the very long recon wait list in qld now and I’m so sorry to hear you had such a shitty time with your chemo it’s bloody awful stuff isn’t it. But it’s relief it’s done it’s job. You’ve been really unlucky too with your surgery haven’t you. What a bugger that’s been as well . The decision is totally yours and only you know what’s best for you. My advice is to trust your gut. If it’s telling you to just take the bloody thing off and be done with all this back and forth for surgery and treatment and get on with life then do that. But if you got through the rads last time ok the doing it  again then well that’s ok too. And how do you feel about the mastectomy? Is recon an easy option for you? Are you ok with the prosthetics or do you want to save your boob no matter what these are a couple questions you can ask yourself . My boobs wouldnt of been able to do all that surgery as I was only a b cup and there wouldn’t be any boob left anyway! Hope this helps. Margie.  X
