Radiotherapy or masectomy
Hi, this is my first time online and hoping for some advice as to where to go next. I am a 56 year old female who was diagnosed with Her2 postive invasive breast cancer in July. Chemo was recommended ...
I chose a full mastectomy and started reconstruction. In fact I chose a bilateral mastectomy as my cancer was missed in a mammogram 5 weeks before I found a lump. I chose it due to fear of missing a recurrence or new primary and wanting to avoid radiotherapy if I could...knowing if nodes were positive I would need it anyway but they were clear. Whilst I miss my breasts I am happy with my decision.
