Post DMX / Additional Surgery Question
My pathology showed I still had cells under my clavicle. I am having another surgery 10 days post DMX to remove tissue from my clavicle. I assume this wasn't done during the mastectomy because this technically isn't breast tissue. Has anyone heard or experienced this?
None of this makes sense to me either. Women need to know they just can't put their trust in doctors to do everything correctly, we need to know the whys and whats about everything. We are not a damn science experiment for them to do as they please . WE are in charge . WE let them do what WE allow and they need to explain everything even a woman doesn't ask questions.
Charla, please let us know what you find out at your appointment tomorrow. There may be a logical reason, so make sure you ask until you understand. Take paper and pen to write down what your doctor says . Preferably, take someone with you who also can hear the explanation and maybe can ask questions that you may not think to ask. Most doctors truly want to do what is best for their patients.
No clue. I have my list of questions to ask doc tomorrow. I wasn't prepared when we chatted on Friday evening. Makes zero sense to me...
Why did you have a double mastectomy for Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS), Stage 0 ?
It was on my pathology report following my DMX.
