Pagets

Hi Majo, I was diagnosed with Pagets and chose to have a skin sparing mastectomy with an immediate implant reconstruction.  I am a B cup so lumpectomy or wide local excision would have left me with little breast tissue.  The possibility of not needing radiotherapy helped me decide on mastectomy.  Pathology results meant I ended up needing both chemo and radiotherapy.  It was a challenging year but I don't regret any of my decisions.  The other ladies make good points about making a decision that sits right for you.  We are all different.  Ask lots of questions, get a second or third opinion if you need it.  Breast care nurses are a good source of information.  Take one day at a time.
