Ladies-Wonderful video… I am 67 and was recently diagnosed with DCIS grade 2 in my left breast. In and of itself I would consider lumpectomy. BUT!!
Here is where it gets complicated; prior to my diagnosis a genetic counselor I saw this June put me at a 35% risk of developing cancer.
I guess that is a mute point now. I have been diagnosed in the past after tissue biopsy with ADH in my right breast. I also carry a very strong family history having two sister and a paternal aunt with invasive cancer. My younger sister was diagnosed at 45 then deceased at 53 from metastatic cancer. I carry VUS gene mutation as well as my older sister that was recently diagnosed with invasive breast cancer last year.
Prior to my diagnosis I had already been considering simple bi-lateral mastectomy choosing to go flat.
I know you cannot make this decision for me so I am just looking at it from a clinical stand point. Given the many risk factors that motivate treatment choice.

What should be done after you had a mastectomy for ten years with lymphatic fluid still resting around the rib also in a small pocket about 2 cm.

[@jimscott6257]

1- DCIS cancer (stage 0) may require a lumpectomy, but not necessarily radiation .
2- The assumption is sometimes made that women care about their physical aspect, but some women may not care about their symmetry and may prefer a partial breast to no breast.

[@jeanniesabol5410]

Breast cancer patients have a CHOICE of whether they prefer a mastectomy rather than lumpectomy. The PATIENT not the surgeon decides. Patient's body, patient's choice, despite surgeon's preference or recommendation.

[@healinhand]

Radiation therapy is non negotiable?

[@bobbipetty7411]

You have control over your body. You don't have to do anything that is not right for you.
