Has anyone had a savi scout placed before lumpectomy?

I had this done. Just like getting a biopsy. It did not help my doctor get clear margins the first time.

Did you have to do another?

Yes

Hope it went well. My surgeon was able get clear margins with the help of the scout

I had the scout but they didn’t get clear margins. Now they want me to do another surgery. I’m literally in shock !

I’m sorry 😢

Good morning. Has anyone had them go into your breast a 2nd time to get clear margins? I’m really concerned about this. TY

Yes. But she took out more when she got in to make sure

So your second lumpectomy produced clear margins? Did you follow up with radiation? Hormones?

I had two lumpectomies, then 16 radiations now on tamoxifen. Had cancer on my nose, surgery there. Then last week I had a seizure. I am so done with this crap.

The I’m sorry to hear this. My surgeon did not get clear margins on my 2nd lumpectomy. Wanted to do a third. I said no and now seeking a second opinion. The mental strain is killing me

Many people in this community have experience with Savi Scout placement before their lumpectomy procedures. This localization technique helps surgeons precisely identify the area that needs to be removed during the procedure. Members here often share their experiences with different pre-surgical preparations, so hopefully others will chime in with their own Savi Scout experiences to help answer your question.
