Hi, I have DCIS . After 3 lumpectomies I still haven’t got clear margins. I’m trying to decide whether to give it another go and have a fourth lumpectomy or put an end and have a mastectomy with reconstruction all in one go. As I read about possible complications with implants I get more scared. Has anyone had the single mastectomy with implants? What was your experience? Thanks a lot.
Hi Lenu I'm one of the community champions here and I just noticed your post hasn't had any replies yet as the site is quite busy. My response will bump you back to the top and I am sure someone with the right experience will be along soon. You can also give the lovely folks at Macmillan a call to chat things through. The number is 0800 808 0000. Best wishes
