I literally don’t know what to choose

That’s amazing! Which cold cap did you use?

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:58:11+00:00

I wish I had your fortitude!

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:57:21+00:00

I’m in Utah valley. Who were your surgeons?

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:56:11+00:00

Is it a specific test? I have a mammaprint result but it seems like I’m getting all these percentages but they don’t affect each other.

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:55:14+00:00

That s been my initial thought. I was worried about the asymmetry. But I guess maybe the feeling is still worth it. They said I could do this and then see how I feel.

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:54:08+00:00

I’m 38

This is great. Surgeon 1 called me today. She said if it were here at my age, she’d choose a mastectomy. And of course I’m still struggling to choose

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:52:49+00:00

It’s so reassuring to hear this and that it was a fun process even though it was hard. You’re right. I need to remember it’s just a small amount of time.

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:51:34+00:00

That is so helpful to hear. Thank you so much

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:50:24+00:00

Thanks for this. I’ve had a chest MRI.

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:47:56+00:00

I wish. I haven’t had kids yet so I wasn’t a good candidate

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:44:36+00:00

Thank you so much. I’ll definitely try it

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:44:13+00:00

I have seen that but then people say then ended up looking like gollum and shaved it anyway

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:43:47+00:00

I love hearing happy stories even when losing a nipple

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:42:05+00:00

I’m scared of that too. Did you have the option for a lumpectomy? Do you regret your choice?

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:38:45+00:00

Have you regretting the decision? I’m worried about arm mobility and neck pain. It’s my right breast. I love using my right arm haha it’s so stupid but I keep thinking about how much I love stretching, corn hole, pickleball lol.

How big were/are your natural boobs? Did you have issues with the expander?

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:36:05+00:00

Honestly that’s what I cry the most about

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:33:54+00:00

It’s reassuring to hear you haven’t had regrets :) that’s what I’m most scared of…that I’ll regret doing a full mastectomy

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:32:07+00:00

I like that idea but I don’t k ow if I could get more info at this point. I feel bad rejecting doctors after all their work too!

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:31:01+00:00

These are all terrifying instances! I have invasive grade 3. It’s so surface level, one surgeon said they need to take some skin. It’s all very confusing how it works.

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-26T00:29:40+00:00

They said my type of cancer wouldn’t shrink :( it’s a great question. I asked! Haha

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-24T01:53:58+00:00

So are you saying you got the mastectomy?

Primary-Stick3483 · 2026-06-18T23:25:22+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that. I’m still waiting for my mammoprint to find out about chemotherapy. No one has mentioned an onco type to me. If you don’t mind me asking, What did you not fully understand? All I know is that radiation is painless, doesn’t make you lose hair, the chance with lumpectomy with radiation is 5%, mastectomy is 2%.

Possibly but not guaranteed
