What to do
Hello all
I haven't been on for a while, so hope all going ok for everyone
I'm now at the stage where I have to choose mastectomy or lumpectomy. My Dr is saying my best option is mastectomy and I...
I too am her+. I wanted a diep flap but after discussion with breast surgeon had a bilateral with tissuexexoanders ibserted with change over pkanned fir after chemo finished...which is soon. The concern the surgeon had was the delay in treatment... my cancer was a stage 1 but a grade 3. Also the tissue expander also meant I had a breast mound there if I required radiation. Which I don't. After the pain of recovery of the mastectomy and tissue expanders I was relieved I hadn't had my tumny done as well. Even though not complete they look pretty good I think.
You can have a diep done later, many ladies on this site have done this. I have kept this in mind if in the end I have issues with the implants which I am not expecting.
