Picked lumpectomy..right choice
WORTH IT$8,400
So It's been a year since the big C and everything is really good. I got a lumpectomy, was able to keep both breasts. Then I had four months of chemo and five weeks of radiation. I have now been cancer free for almost a year!
I recommend reading up about mastectomies and stuff if you are ever diagnosed with this awful disease. Knowledge is power. And now I'm really glad I didn't lose my boobs! Hope everyone is well. Anyone still on this site from back in my TT day??

Ugh...I can't believe your mammogram was clear in November. Good for you for finding the lump. I can see you have an amazing support group with the Tummy Tuckers but feel free to start another review in the Breast Reconstruction community for another helpful group of women. Hang in there...I believe you when you say you're overwhelmed with reading all the research, etc. Wishing you the best!

Just checking in on you. Did you get your surgery along with the tissue expanders? How long will you have them? Hoping you're doing well...we'd love an update!

Breast Cancer!! Lumpectomy and Radiation or double Mastectomy??
Just diagnosed two weeks ago with a tumor in my right breast (I found the lump, had a clear mammogram last November!) Surgeons favoring lumpectomy and radiation, my lump is not that large. I am favoring double mastectomy to ensure no future breast cancer, don't really want to take a wait and see approach. Overwhelmed by reading lots of info on both. I am fairly large busted. Thoughts?

I can't pull up the comments so I apologize if I am repeating anything someone else said. Wow, you licked breast cancer, that is incredible!! Firstly, congratulation, that has to be an incredible relief. Secondly, you look amazing. Are you still pleased?
