I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in May and 3 weeks ago I had a lumpectomy. I have had bleeding and that since but when I went for a check up of my wound on Monday with my surgeon she had my results. The margins were not clear so I have been given 2 options for further surgery either go again and take more tissue to see if we can get a clear measure or to have a mastectomy . My surgeon has  told she will not reconstruct at the time if I choose this option due to my bruising and bleeding.

I live on my own and do not have family close by although I have a great network of friends but I do not know what to do as I realise the 2nd option will be so difficult to come to terms with but I am seeing my consultant again tomorrow and would welcome anyone’s experience of being in a similar situation to myself .
