Dmx after radiation to preserve the skin?

July152020

hello,

Long story short, I just got a lumpectomy (left breast, 1 o'clock) and I have 2 SN nodes with cancer. So I need chemo and radiation. Then I found out I am brca-2 positive so now I want to have dmx. I initially thought I want dmx now so I can finish this ordeal sooner and they said I have something suspicious on the right breast though U/S didn't find anything. So what if there IS something going on?

but then it just hit me today: Since my breast skin will be damaged with radiation, what if I keep the breast now and let the skin get damaged then when I get dmx, my good skin would still be there?

crazy or maybe doable?

What did your RO and your BS tell you?

I am meeting surgeon on Monday and emailed RO about it.

Just wanted to know if anyone happens to know.

I don't understand at all what you are asking / suggesting. Could you clarify?
