Sparing mastectomy/Diep - What was your recommended follow-up?

It was a fairly easy decision as I had three locations of DCIS spread out so best cosmetic result would be a mastectomy with reconstruction. My breast surgeon did give me the option of a lumpectomy with radiation. I also, felt that for me, a mastectomy would give me best possible long term outcome. I had breast cancer 25+ years earlier. This was a new primary. I hope this helps

Thank you for the explanation. Is the new cancer on the same breast? What type of cancer did you have 25 years ago?

I feel the same in my case. Mastectomy as I have two tumors in my breast, plus a third mass that the ultrasound says that it's nothing.
