Actually, no. The first one was invasive ductal on the one side of the breast and the second was neuroendocrine on the other sidewhich is an aggressive cancer usually found in the colon or liver first, very rarely seen in the breast so not a lot of info. Neither was related to each other.

"It was advised to have chemo (such as they do for an oat cell ca which also treats neuroendocrine), but after 3 different Tumor Board discussions, I chose not to go that route." That would have been in addition to the treatment for the original invasive ductal cancer, i.e. Taxotere and cyclophosphamide that I received.

Yes - I had 4 rounds of chemo and 30 days of radiation. It was advised to have chemo (such as they do for an oat cell ca which also treats neuroendocrine), but after 3 different Tumor Board discussions, I chose not to go that route. I'm at the 4-year mark and, so far, so good.

Thank you all; I live in Michigan and am not going for another reconstruction .
I am done, just wanted to let anyone who is thinking of reconstruction be very sure of the
qualifications of your plastic surgeon.

I'm doing fine. Because of my diagnosis of invasive cancer and neuroendocrine cancer, I have to continue with PET scans, but so far (and it's been 4 years), so good. I walk daily about 3 miles and usually peter out by the afternoon and stop to rest for a bit. Let us know how you do.
I decided to remain flat also. I am 3.5 years out and very happy with my decision. I had 3 tumors in one breast. I had my surgery at Mayo in AZ. I am happy to talk with anyone who has questions re: flat closure.

Understood.

I am not sure if I understand correctly. Which route you didn't go?

Thank you for the explanation. Did you do any radiation or chemo?
