tomorow afternoon.
This is for a second opinion re reducing my good breast. Locally they said no due to the skin mets along my mast scar for fear of spread. However my onc at the Marsden thinks a second opinion is worthwhile as I’ve had no problems on my good side to date.
Feeling pretty nervous now.

Hi ladies,
Appt went really well, I’m so pleased.
Mr G at the Marsdon is lovely, was with him for @ 40 mins.
He checked and double checked everything history/treatment wise.
He is happy to give me a reduction and says he can avoid going anywhere near my mast scar. Obviously he pointed out the risks involved for me ie infection/my tissues not healing. He also said he has never seen or heard of skin mets progressing in humans due to further surgery. He has head of this happening with lab mice!
Mr G also said he could revise my mast scar thereby removing my skin mets provided Dr J (onc) agrees to this. Dr J may well say no as touching the mets could indeed cause them to spread. Removing them in this way will not keep them gone,and he cannot give me a length of time before they will return but he said he feels it would be better for me if I don’t have to see them very day. So thoughtful:)
So I have clinic in 2 weeks and will discuss the mets side. The reduction is booked for 26th January so a good start to the new year.
I’m really happy

HI jackie
Lovely to hear you can have this op, your surgeon sounds brilliant and caring.
Im not having mine till around March, im on a waiting list as i want my lovely Mr B at the Christie and he is a very popular man!! but does mean you can tell me all the ins and outs when you have had yours!
Really pleased for you
Love Julie xx
Great news Jackie, so pleased for you.
How do you feel about it all? It must be such a relief, especially to know he may be able to remove the skin mets too, at least for now.
Wayyee you go!
Love Carole
Hi Carole,
I’m absolutley chuffed to bits about the reduction. I know it will make a huge difference for me. As to the skin mets, well, I’m more wary of that!
If Dr J does say yes I will be happy to have the scar revision but I guess because no one has ever suggested this to me before it’s kinda come out of the blue for me. A little more to think about

Jackie - that is great news and not too long to wait for the op hopefully…
