Hi everyone! I'm brand new here, and already I have a conundrum, and that is, which op should I go for? A Wide Local Excision, or a Therapeutic Mammoplasty? Has anyone got any advice from their own lived experience? I have 11 days to decide, and would really appreciate some advice. Thank you!
Hi Isobelle
welcome to the MacMillan Community. I am one of the community champions, principally looking on our various breast cancer pages. Our site is divided up into forums by cancer type. I recommend you join our Breast cancer forum and post your question there, as you will find lots of people there who have had to make these sorts of decisions. I had a WLE but in my case it was a small amount of tissue being removed relative to my breast size. It was a simple operation and easy to recover from. I think a mammoplasty does more rearrangement of tissue and may therefore give a better cosmetic result, but I have no experience of it as it wasn’t offered to me

Hi Coddfish.
Thanks for your help. I'm still at 6's and 7's, as to which way to go, so I'll take your advice and post my question on the forum you suggested.
