monitor or prevent????
i finally had the breast reduction i have been promising myself for years,and when i went for my 2 week check up my plastic surgeon told me the pathology had come back with lobular carcenoma in situ -...
Wow Mel ,
you have been through so much, and you are clearly so brave , i am pretty tough and i would like to think if i ever was diagnosed i would face it just as bravely
i suppose i have also made the assumption that if i have a mastectomy there is no chance of cancer in that breast? i would just have close monitoring of he healthy breast as once you have had lcis in one breast you have increased risk of getting it the other.
Can i ask if the struggle with the mastectomy is physical or emotional ?- have you had a reconstruction ? ( please don't answer if you are uncomfortable )
i truly hope the mastectomy is it for you, and have nothing but good health from now on
