Hi all
ive been diagnosed with breast cancer (invasive adenocarcinoma in the right breast, grade 2). It doesn’t seem to have spread to the lymph nodes but my consultant won’t know for certain until she removes a couple during surgery.
The size is 9.5cm and with no margin for preserving the breast the options I have is either a mastectomy or reconstructive surgery.
I wanted to hear from anyone who has had either of these surgeries and how life has been since.
I’m torn between the two options as reconstruction will delay any further treatment for me.
could really use some advise
Hi Myjourney
I am sorry you have breast cancer and are facing a mastectomy. I am one of the community champions on the breast cancer pages. I don’t have the experience you are looking for but wanted to signpost you to our main breast cancer forum as it’s much busier than this one. Breast cancer forum
