Confused

 38!years old , Recently diagnosed with invasive DC and DCIs of left breast , I had two opinions lumpectomy plus radiation and hormonal therapy or mastectomy with hormonal therapy only ..,so I choose lumpectomy and one margin came with only less than 0.5 mm free foci of DCIs ...since that I’m afraid and I thinking I should do mastectomy from the start, my choice was wrong !! I talk to my surgeon he said no breast tissue lefted and no more surgery and now continue your treatment but I’m afraid :/any one had this experience

  • Hi ya ...

    I'm sorry your now more worried after the op ... l had the same choice and l choose masectomy ... but I'm 64 ... so I knew I could live with that ... but if I'd been younger I'd probly have had what you did ...

    I'm sure they will keep a close eye on you now ... I'm sure they will do that at first sign of another lump .. and they just may have got it all ... fingers crossed ... so try not to over worry .. and even with a full masectomy, there's still a chance it will come back ... 

    Hope that helped a little ..  Chrissie x
