Please help me. My doctors will not answer my questions. I even had a group of doctors escort me out of their clinic and told not to come back. For asking too many questions. I am the most polite person. Can they do this? I ended up in the E.R. after fainting in their lobby.
My question is: I’ve had 4 breast biopsies in 20 years. LCIS, ADH, FEA, and now DCIS. Tamoxifen 5 years. Raloxifene 7 years. Osteoporosis. Some Heart blockages. Mitral valve prolapse. Complete hysterectomy at age 43. I want a double mastectomy . Maybe No reconstruction. I’ve seen 4 surgeons. They all want to do lumpectomy, radiation, AI again. Can someone tell me if a mastectomy is as horrible as they are telling me? They say I will have more side effects. I’m 60 and active. They said I will have to give up sports. Tennis, pickleball, Newcomb.
I need advice from real women who have been through it.
I want to be done with this breast business.
Thank you
