Surgery options & decisions
I have just been recently diagnosed with early breast cancer, stage 1, grade 1. I had my first appointment, the team were great with explaining everything though I must say it’s been very overwhelming...
@Ella123. I was also given the option of having a lumpectomy or mastectomy. That was 16 years ago.
I chose mastectomy. This was the correct decision because the tumour in my breast was so close to the nipple.
I waited for a full month between time of diagnosis and mastectomy.
Very long story since but I am still here.
