I had bi lateral lumpectomy’s and sentinel node surgery nearly 3 weeks ago. Great news it hasn’t spread. However in my left breast they need to remove more tissue from above and below previous site. Have been offered mastectomy as surgeon said I could potentially be in the same situation after the next lumpectomy. really didn’t want to opt for a mastectomy but now wondering if I should. Has anyone had further surgery following lumpectomy and what was the outcome?
Hi mgak welcome to the forum. I am sorry that you have not had a response as yet..I'm thinking that they can only take so much breast tissue away before they leave you very lopsided and with a big difference in breast sizes. I think that's possibly why the option of a Mastectomy has been raised. The choice really has to be yours unfortunately based on all the evidence as to why a certain procedure may be better for you.
