Although i dont have experience with mascetomies; if i reflect on my own experience; my surgeon drew a neat little diagram and that looked fine to me; but there is a real issue of being so focused on removing the cancer that really at time of consult/operation i was more focused on adjusting to the diagnosis/ making sense/ shock and the rest...and this is when most of us may not think about how many operations/ procedures/appearance/ issues...however when i went back recently to my surgeon and thanked her for her obvious care and skill --hardly noticable that ive had anything done--she said 'it makes the world of difference for (emotional ) recovery...
