I had a 2cm+ cancer in my left breast and had oncoplastic surgery. I then saw my radiation oncologist who complained that she could do her "boosts" because of my surgery. Kind of bothered me. How would I know that was an issue going into surgery unless someone, breast surgeon?, told me???
It's difficult to have other people's emotions intrude on our decision making. In an ideal world, doctors would talk with one another rather than with the patient.
Very informative. I do wish this was an option when I was first diagnosed... it's hard to find bras - they make mastectomy bras but not Lumpectomy bras.
Depending on how large the breast is, it is possible for someone to have oncoplastic surgery. But if there is evidence that there may be disease elsewhere in the breast, a mastectomy may be part of the treatment plan. In addition, in someone with a small breast, the surgical "defect" may be so large that oncoplastic surgery may not be right. Thanks for the question.

I agree. There are a lot of people who could have benefitted from this type of surgical advance.
What about a lump plus another area that is DCIS about 4cm from the 1st site
