Lumpectomy vs mastectomy

My aunt had a mastectomy & the cancer returned. However, with a mastectomy, they cannot do mammograms. Just make the decision that is right for you as it’s a very personal decision. I just had my lumpectomy this past Tuesday & I’m still healing. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

I am sorry to hear that about your aunt! Never assumed after doctors visit that cancer might return after mastectomy! UGH ! I guess I am the most stressing about radiation! Left side , heart underneath, lungs .... how not to think about these things or any like them .... that is my problem ! Wishing you complete healing and peace!
