Hello,
Sorry to hear about your wife, this is an excellent site.
I would put the port in, easier in the end, saves the veins in your arms.
I agree about seeing a radiologist.
Not sure how your wife was diagnosed as stage one with such a wide tumor and then told to have a double mastectomy and that she has Paget's in one breast but...
question this also:
"Our surgeon reviewed the surgical reports with us and she recommended that she go back in next week and try to get clear margins at the lateral and deep sections. She said that she may need to remove a thin layer of muscle to do that. She said that radiation might be an option but she highly recommended a second operation as she said that the complications from radiation would be riskier. "
While I've had some serious side effects from radiation, I am also alive 10 years after a serious recurrence and 14 from first time.
HER2 is an aggressiveand tricky disease, do more, not less.
I forget if you mentioned whether she was ER+ or not.
Researching is good.
Health and happiness
