Query about mascetomy
Hi everyone, I am new here, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, 3 months ago aged 47. DCIS, 3cm growth, 1 node had cancer cells the rest were clear, Hormone pos. My margin was clear, however because ...
Hi everyone, just an update on my situation. I am 5 cycles of chemo down...Yay!! Only one more to go.. I went to speak to my surgeon regarding mascetomy, and had a bit of a spanner thrown into the works. She told me there is new research from San Antonio, in regards to clear margins (mine was clear, however very close) and I now don't need to have my right breast removed! Now I am not sure what to do, she stated the re-occurance is only 1 % difference between radio therapy & mascetomy. So now I am totally confused as to what I should do, masc with re-con or radio therapy??? Any one have any advice..Thanks :-)))
