Lumpectomy with Radiation Therapy VS Mastectomy
I know every case is different however generally speaking, once we are diagnosed with Breast Cancer - which option (Lumpectomy with Radiation Therapy or Mastectomy) is better if the key objective is ...
@Jen79x
Thanks for the update. Its really useful. I have few questions though:
1) Double Mastectomy was your choice or recommended by Oncologist? Did you chose immediate reconstruction of breasts? Also did you go for Double Mastectomy straightaway after diagnosis without any initial surgery?
2) If there are no Lymph nodes involved, any specific reason of opting for Radiation? For how many cycles?
3) What's the recommended Chemo regimen for you? Is it AC-T?
4) Where are you in your treatment plan? Have you completed Chemo and Radiation?
5) Have you undergone any test to determine complete Pathological response or planning to go for Xeloda as a preventive measure?
Sorry for asking too many questions :)
