I’ve had two lumpectomies after two small tumors were found in my upper right breast. The plan was to remove them and then start radiotherapy and hormone treatment. Unfortunately the edges are still not clear and now I’m given the option another lumpectomy or a mastectomy. My doctor is leaning towards the mastectomy, but mostly for optical reasons as another lumpectomy will likely cause a big dent / hole as too much tissue has already been removed. It’s on the very top of my breast so will be very visual.
i just don’t know what to decide. I’m very scared of a mastectomy. If it was to contain the cancer I’d obviously go for it, but I don’t know if it’s worth it. Any suggestions? Thank you
