Another Re-Excision or Mastectomy?
Note: this is all behind me now and I feel great. I had four surgeries in the end, the last being a mastectomy. Recovery was pretty easy and I now have my external prosthesis, and noone would even kn...
swisha I am so sorry you have to go through this experience 😞...it's a lot to process and can be very confronting. I have a similar story having had a DCIS diagnosis last October. I had Lumpectomy surgery on left breast which unfortunately didn't receive clear margins. My 2nd surgery pathology results identified disease anterior in my nipple so I had to go for round 3 of surgery to remove the nipple. Happy to say the final pathology came back all clear 🙂 and after 15 rounds of radiation I feel my breast looks and feels amazing for the 3 surgeries she endured. The 3rd round of surgery I really felt - it seemed to knock me around more than the prior 2. I had them in quick succession so assume the anaesthetic had an accumulative effect. At the beginning of my diagnosis I was all about a mastectomy and was extremely confused...totally normal. Whatever you choose, it is the right decision for you....trust in that 💕
Hello, Thanks for your message. I hope you continue to recover well and have no issues. I am all set for my mastectomy next week. No regrets, we tried everything to save the boob 😁
Thank you motton. I certainly hope so. Today I am teary & anxious for the first time, it's 2 days out, and I am not worried about the surgery, I am worried about life afterward.
