http://thebreastcancerbook.com the books and information about breast cancer Sat, 20 Feb 2010 09:43:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 en hourly 1 http://thebreastcancerbook.com/lumpectomy-v-mastectomy.htm http://thebreastcancerbook.com/lumpectomy-v-mastectomy.htm#comments Sat, 23 May 2009 06:21:33 +0000 admin http://thebreastcancerbook.com/?p=17 Thanks so much for your reply and information. My breasts are largish – I wear a 38D bra so am thinking about going for the lumpectomy. I will be having radiotherapy whichever operation I have. I have been offered reconstruction if I opt for mastectomy (but not for a year or so as my doctor says my cancer is quite a dangerous type and he wants to concentrate on treatment for now). If my breast ends up fairly disfigured, do you know if reconstruction is ever carried out after a lumpectomy? thanks so much.
