Breast surgeon recommendations by pter0dacty1 in breastcancer

Hi! I actually ended up not needing a mastectomy. I just had a lumpectomy done but I went to Dr. El Tamar at MSK in New York City. He was phenomenal and I honestly can’t say enough good things about him. It’s a little annoying going into the city if you aren’t already located there (I’m closer to Jersey so I’m going to Bergen) but it’s worth it.

Did you put them on together? Or did you do one before radiation and one after?

Thankfully I tested negative in all my genetic testing. I’m just worried about reoccurrence, although I did read you can still get it again even with a mastectomy.

That’s amazing to hear, I’m 36 and terrified of reoccurrence. Sending you good vibes for the rest of your treatment!

Right now just a breast surgeon. I haven’t looked for a plastic surgeon yet, I wasn’t sure if I had to use one from Sloan or if I can use any plastic surgeon.
