I had a lumpectomy 16 years ago. Because the lump was in the very early stages and tiny I was told I only needed a lumpectomy.  16 years later I found a large lump close to my lumpectomy scar and the cancer had spread to my lymph nodes. I am too frail health wise to have a mastectomy now so had another lumpectomy and all my lymph nodes removed. I wish I had had a mastectomy 16 years ago. I get my biopsy results next week.  I hope you can get some advice from your cancer nurse or surgeon. 

I am really wishing yo all the best there.  I do think a mastectomy is the way to go and I can get one somewhere even if the surgeon wont do.  But you have to be positive.  If they have removed all nodes there is a good possibility they have taken the channels for spread now.  Please keep in touch xxx
