Newby here, surgery date for early Feb, what was supposed to be lymph node removal under arm and a couple of radiation treatments is now single mastectomy and lymph node under arm removal then either chemo or radiotherapy….totally stunned and reeling. Don’t want to be lopsided so asked if double mastectomy is an option (family history of BC) or do I wait 12 mths and have a reconstruction….so many questions.
Anyone else in same position xx
