It looks like when you have Multifocal/ Multicentric Breast cancer, the chances of finding lymph nodes positive is higher, them the unifocal breast cancer.

Please share if you had experience with Multifocal/Multicentric Breast cancer.

I didn’t have lumpectomy option. I was told I needed unilateral and I immediately knew I wanted bilateral. I would have chosen mastectomy over lumpectomy anytime. Going thru this once is already devastating. I have read too many stories of women having recurrence after lumpectomy. I am not saying mastectomy eliminates recurrence 100% but I would at least think it decreases the local recurrence. I did my mastectomy Sept 2022. Have expanded currently and will have reconstruction around October 23. I do not feel any less having had mastectomy.

I did unilateral mastectomy on my left side, aesthetic flat closure. No implants or flap. It was extremely smooth and easy. Doing my right breast this fall.

Good for you! Mine was multifocal. I had positive residual after initial chemo so I’m on kadcyla to make sure we kill anything that might be floating around. Mine was Her2+.
