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 had single mastectomy straight off. No amount of doctor asking me to reconsider would change my mind. As it turned out both sides of the breast had trouble. One side the cancer, the other side a fatty lump growing so it wasn't a great thing to retain. I had very small breasts so a 2.5cm x 5cm lump in one was a huge thing for me. I also had lymph node positive and ended up with a second op to remove all nodes. Chemo thereafter. I am 54yrs old.
