What helped you make treatment decisions following DCIS lumpectomy?

Yes, I am. I have an expander and my surgeon filled it with saline to make it look better. I think maybe three or four months from now he will finish if healed enough. It looks way better than I thought it would. My breast surgeon was able to save my nipple. I feel better than I expected but I still have meds in my system. Hoping to continue this way. Thank you for listening. I hope you do well.

I, too, was happy with how the expander looked when I came home from the hospital. My plastic surgeon did his thing right after my breast surgeon did hers. She was able to save my nipple and I think that played a great part in all of this. Plastic guy filled it in the OR and I’ve had one more. He’s going to take out the expander and put in the implant on Oct 3🙏🙏 Hope all goes well for you-you’ll be in my thoughts.
