Worries/Questions regarding Mastectomy

You need to do what is right for you. However, if you find yourself stressing about the possibility of it returning, you need to revisit your decision. I had chemo then mastectomy and anxillery clearance one side followed by twelve months Herceptin. They wanted me to have radio as that was protocol but they couldn’t give me any extra assurance with it so I said no. All the best with your decision. My breast cancer was all dead after chemo but they didn’t know that for sure until they dissected it after my mastectomy. My lymph nodes looked clear but they found two micro spots of living cancer cells when they did the dissection.
