Hello, I was diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer in June this year. I am 37 years old. I started having chemotherapy in July. However, after the first session I ended up in intensive care and I had neutropenic sepsis. Following this they said I could no longer have chemotherapy and I have to have surgery now. My surgery is next week. I would like to know if anybody has had a lumpectomy before and what type of scar they chose to have? I was given the choice of a simple scar or a round block mammoplasty. Can you share your experiences with either of these please, thank you.
