Re: Question re: nipple removal after mastectomy
I talked to my surgeon about having a prophylactic removal of the nipple areola complex on the opposite side of the mastectomy.
I got the run around about how rare it is to have a recurrence of Paget's on the opposite side. My NAC is still there, and I'm still concerned about symptoms in the breast. I asked my doctor to put in for an MRI.
Is it just precautionary, or do you have symptoms such as flaking, oozing, redness?
