@mawmaws My mastectomy was canceled because it would not make any difference because the BC metastasized. It’s essentially in my blood, and as my oncologist said “we can’t take your blood out”. I have BC lesions on my spine, iliac crest and a spot on my skull. So it makes no sense to have such a major surgery/amputation. A mastectomy is done to get all the cancer out of your body. It clearly wasn’t going to do that for me. That would be like trying to put out a forest fire with a garden hose.
