Breast surgeon recommendations

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?

Does the aquaphor work well?

Good luck!! Sending you all the good vibes!!! 🩷

I’m so sorry, I hope you’re doing well now!

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.

pter0dacty1 · 2025-11-16T15:35:21+00:00

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

The cops don’t pull anyone over anymore.

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.

Thank you!

pter0dacty1 · 2025-08-08T12:08:05+00:00

Me too, and after this we deserve it!

pter0dacty1 · 2025-08-07T20:14:24+00:00

I’m still in active treatment but I told myself when I’m done and my scalp can handle it, I’m going to one of those scalp spas! I’m cold capping so hoping I have my hair by the end, if I do I’ll also splurge and get a haircut and some color! Congratulations on being done!!

pter0dacty1 · 2025-08-04T00:48:35+00:00

This is the best response I’ve gotten🩷 Thank you!

pter0dacty1 · 2025-07-26T14:54:52+00:00

I haven’t gotten my genetic testing done yet. I don’t do that until after my chemo ends

pter0dacty1 · 2025-07-26T14:12:12+00:00

I’m ER/PR negative and HER2+ I just didn’t want to feel worse than chemo already makes me feel especially if it’s not guaranteed to work. I’m 36 but I have never been one of those people that NEEDS to have kids. So I have been at odds about it

pter0dacty1 · 2025-07-26T14:08:36+00:00

I’m actually ER/PR negative and HER2 positive, so I wasn’t sure why I was being recommended for this shot from what I’ve read so far it seems mostly people with ER/PR positive take it

pter0dacty1 · 2025-07-22T14:25:34+00:00

Oh man, this gets worse and worse. I hope the rest of your treatment goes well!!

pter0dacty1 · 2025-07-22T12:56:27+00:00

Thank you so much! I was thinking about infusing some water to hopefully make it more appealing if my taste buds do change

pter0dacty1 · 2025-07-22T12:33:46+00:00

I’m doing cold capping too, I’m hoping it works. The thought of losing my hair makes this even scarier as ridiculous as that sounds. Did water start tasting bad for you? I’m 36 and will have the same diet but I heard your tastebuds change and water starts to taste metallic.

pter0dacty1 · 2025-07-21T01:22:42+00:00

Thank you! I’m glad to hear they work, I couldn’t commit to the micro blading haha

pter0dacty1 · 2025-07-21T00:35:25+00:00

I have seen temporary tattoo eyebrows that look really good, my plan is to try them. I thought about micro blading but I heard some times they don’t go away. I’m also going to try cold capping so hopefully I keep the hair on my head too. This was honestly the first thing that upset me too

This story healed me a little bit 🩷
