Scared of Surgery
IBC recurrence after lumpectomy/lymph dissection surgery 12/1/06 1/6 & clean margins, caught just before rads. I'm scared to death to now have a masectomy. I don't understand where they know where to cut, where does this skin inflammation begin and end. I also read a lot of scars are long time healing if cancer remains in the skin, rads are delayed, and reconstruction is difficult.
I'm currently on gen/cisplatin/herceptin and seeing the redness disappearing. No mets currently. 2nd opinion on the 17 of where to go from here.
I'm so confused about what the right thing to do.
It seems regardless of what you do this thing has a tendence to return and I'm not sure going thru another surgery recovery is worth it. anyadvice out there is needed...........thank you for your web sit. I use to come here for her2 and now I'm here for IBC
I'm still learning how to use this site. Chemo brain doesn't help..........
You guys are a wonder to me.
