thank you for sharing Iktomi that your mother survived 4 cancers is inspiring doctor number 1 wants to do a total mastectomy yesterday, then chemo for 3 months and then radiation for another 3 doctor #2 wants to start chemo in 3 weeks, evaluate the results in 2 to 3 months - if there is any shrinkage he would then do a lumpectomy, followed by radiation - if no shrinking of the tumor, then a total mastectomy and radiation doctor #1 thinks there was no tumor in the september mammogram, hence it is fast growing doc #2 thinks it 'probably' was there, but didn't show up because her breast tissue is so dense it definitely showed up in the week ago mammogram the tumor is irregular shaped - described like "a spill of coffee on the table" both will remove the nearest lymph nodes both have offered reconstruction - for even if only a lumpectomy, the tumor is so large it will disfigure her breast she is very thin I would like to ask why your friend would not recommend the reconstruction - my guess is there are side effects from it to this day
