@polianad22 I’m not sure how they knew they got clean margins the second time around. When pathology came back, it showed clear margins, but I had the lift/reduction already. I know my surgical oncologist took VERY wide margins to help with getting all the cancer cells. I go for monitoring/imaging every three months, so if any cancer was left, it will get caught early.

Understood. May I ask you why you didn't do mastectomy? It looks like when you do lumpectomy, the patient needs to check carefully every three months. What do you do every three months? Mammogram, MRI, blood test, ultrasound?
