I still cannot wrap my head around why we don't opt for a mastectomy and get rid of all the tissue. Doctors told me it would not improve my survival rate if I opted for mastectomy over lumpectomy. It just doesn't make sense to me that removing all that tissue doesn't improve my chance survival. If the tissue is not there it is not reoccurring in THAT tissue. Yes, it can still reoccur in that location but with so much tissue gone am I not lessening my chance for reoccurrence?
To the original poster, 3x cancer survivor, I love your positive outlook and appreciate your post! Wishing you the best and praying this is your last encounter with C-Beast! May you slay him down for good!
