Hi Mich
Originally I was told they were dealing with one small 6 mm cancer and in surgeons words ..simple easy fix op and with the follow up treatment you will be fine..
The pathology found cancer areas close to the margins so more tissue needed to be removed ., I was again told that it was an easy fix
After 2nd op they found a total of 8 with one 12 mm in size so had to go back again to get clear margins and was talked into one more smaller op as I was told I had a good chance of retaining the breast..
3rd op the pathology found that the surgeon had sliced through at least 2 more so now I have no choice but to have the breast off
