Re: Question Please help
Hello,
I had a quadrantectomy, 1/4 Of my breast removed. After that i had chemo, radiation (32 sessions) and herceptin for a year. After almost 6 years i have not been recurrent with the cancer. My doctor explainded that lumpectomy plus radiation equals mastectomy. But i recommend that your mom discusses her options with her doctor and both decide what is best for her.
