Mine was nipple sparing too but in 2 stages surgery w TE. I just found out they are recommending chemo. Mine is triple neg and I'm braca1. Small 4 mm tumor that turned invasive w concern w reoccurrence. Recommending taxotere carbopatin 3 months. With a port in chest area. I'm not looking forward to losing my hair since it's long. Dr told me about cold caps to help w hair loss. Have you heard of it ??My mom just had chemo 3 years ago and lost her hair. I just turned 43 in May same wk of surgeries.

I'm stage 1b w invasion. Mine is aggressive type w concern for w reoccurrence also braca 1.do you need radiation ?
June 18, 2016
Yes!! I agree 100%. He saved my life after Dr. Turkeltaub botched my reconstruction and failed to tell me that I also had a life threatening infection when I found another surgeon!!!

Dr. Andres is heaven sent!! I am doing much better considering what he had to work with after I was butchered by Turkeltaub, who I hate even calling a doctor!!! Turkeltaub can stuff you with implant if you have breast and you may be ok, but he should not be allowed to Do breast reconstruction, especially if you have had radiation. Sorry to rant but my recon was far worse than all the cancer treatment combined. I wish I would have found Dr. Andres first!!! Wishing all who are dealing with recon the very best!!
