Booked in for Masectomy but now panicking
Hi all,
I have posted a few times this week, had my results back on Monday and no clear margins,plus 4 nodes haven’t been able to get to see a PS, this week, Surgeon said he would talk to him on Monday, but I booked in for masectomy this Thursday. I still have Rads to go, and seems like waiting till that is all done, then working out if I want to pursue a recon is my best bet, but now I am panicking about it all so much, my brain feels fried.

- @Spillsy could you ring your breast care nurse first thing Monday morning and say you would like your surgeon to speak to plastics after all?
Its certainly a horrible predicament for you to be in, no matter what route you do end up going rest assured that the radiation plan will be the best possible for you.
