What did you do? Lumpectomy or mastectomy?

Hi, grade 2. Editing stage. Lumpectomy or mastectomy? Thank you

Parents
  • 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. 

  • Hope you’re feeling okay today.  I’m always thinking of you now.  Xxx
