Recurrence :(..treatment questions
Hi there Just reaching out after a recent diagnosis of a recurrence at age of 47..after 8 years since my first breast cancer (age 39)- oestrogen-progesterone positive :( First time lumpectomy, axilla...
Hi @eddiek
Sorry to hear about recurrence.
I had a mastectomy and no reconstruction for the reasons youve stated. I was 48. I feel physically fine with it and prefer not to wear a prosthetic. The only issue ive had is finding a suitable bra to manage my dd remaining breast with out prosthetic and sometimes i like to diguise the fact that im breastless and dresses and swimwear dont really cater much for it. Not insurmountable and in my opinion less painful than more surgery. Im sick of the medical intervention.
