Who has had a lumpectomy with Oncoplasty followed by radiation? Any regrets or would you do it again?

This is such an important question that many people in similar situations are likely wondering about. Oncoplastic surgery can be a great option for preserving breast shape while ensuring effective cancer treatment, but everyone's experience and recovery can be different. Hopefully some community members who have been through this specific combination of treatments will share their perspectives and experiences to help you think through your decision.

Hi Faye!! I’m scheduled for the same - a oncoplastic lumpectomy with radiation on 11/15 - I’ve already met with my cancer surgeon and will have a consult with the plastic surgeon in a week

Mine will be on 11/14 so we are on the same schedule. I meet with a plastic surgeon this coming week for a consultation.
