Hello, I had a lumpectomy 2 weeks ago, and they have called me back in to say I need further surgery. They originally found a lump 2cm grade 2 invasive breast cancer - it turns out there were 2 x 5 cm lumps and a lot of infected tissue surrounding close to my breastbone, it is also grade 3 not 2 although has not gone into the lymph nodes. I’m confussed as to why the doc said ‘we don’t use staging’ ? Secondly, should I go for the masectomy and reconstruction or another lumpectomy which will leave me with uneven breasts? I also don’t know whether I will have to have radio or chemo? Any advice please? I’m 55 years old.
