Join me as I share my journey. The contents of this podcast are not intended to substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

66. Breast Surgeon Follow-Up: 3 Years After Breast Cancer and a Mastectomy

<div dir="auto">It has been three years since my left skin-sparing, nipple-sparing mastectomy for the diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma (breast cancer).  <div dir="auto"> </div> <div dir="auto">I just had my annual follow up with the breast surgeon. </div> </div> <div dir="auto"> </div> <div dir="auto">The breast surgeon is really focused on catching any new breast cancer. She does a breast exam on the side where there wasn't any cancer, in addition to checking the area around the implant and in the left arm pit (the side where I had the cancer). The breast surgeon also reviews my most recent breast imaging results.  </div> <div dir="auto"> </div> <div dir="auto">Leading up to this year's breast surgery appointment, I definitely was exhibiting a bit of an attitude towards my breast surgeon.  I reference prior episodes where I recommend always getting a second opinion for the breast surgery and  making sure you're the first or second surgical case of the day.  Both of these episodes are based on my experience with the breast surgeon.  </div> <div dir="auto"> </div> <div dir="auto">At this appointment, the breast surgeon dove deep into discussion about approaches to screening and how to handle anything in the future that comes up as needing to be biopsied. I wasn't expecting this, but felt deeply reassured in her approach to my breast cancer screening. I was reminded that my breast surgeon is truly an expert (how could I ever forget this?) and although it is true I am always waiting more than an hour to see her (including on the day of my surgery), it doesn't take away from the value that she provides me in my breast cancer life.  </div> <div dir="auto"> <p>The content of this podcast is not intended to substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Episode thumbnail for 65. Breast Cancer Surgery: Why it's Important to be the Person Having Surgery in the Morning Rather Than at the End of the Breast Surgeon's Day

65. Breast Cancer Surgery: Why it's Important to be the Person Having Surgery in the Morning Rather Than at the End of the Breast Surgeon's Day

<div dir="auto">I've been thinking a lot lately about my surgery back in 2023,  when I was diagnosed with invasive carcinoma in the left breast.  At that time,  I chose to have a left mastectomy. </div> <div dir="auto"> </div> <div dir="auto">I'm sharing what I have come to realize recently about that surgery and how I have honed  in on one of the reasons it may have been a disadvantage to be the last surgical case of the day for my breast surgeon.</div> <div dir="auto"> </div> <div dir="auto">The recovery process could have been impacted by the approach the breast surgeon used. I was going to surgery at 4PM (although my original surgery time was 2 PM) and my surgeon, I'm quite certain,  was operating all day long before she got to me.  </div> <div dir="auto"> </div> <div dir="auto">Immediately after the mastectomy, I went through a pretty rigorous recovery process to avoid losing the skin over my implant. </div> <div dir="auto"> </div> <div dir="auto">I recently visited a plastic surgeon for consultation about a prophylactic right mastectomy. During this recent consultation,  I learned more about what could have  been the reason there was concern about the adequacy of blood flow and potential wound healing complications at the time I was in the operating room with that left mastectomy. </div> <div dir="auto"> </div> <div dir="auto">What I learned added one more reason to my list of points as to why it's important to have your surgery in the morning and not be the very last person of the day. </div> <div dir="auto"> </div> <div dir="auto"> <div dir="auto">The content of this podcast is not intended to substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

64. Breast Cancer Surgery: Personal Experience on why it is so Important to Have a Second Opinion for the Breast Surgeon and the Plastic Surgeon

<p>This episode I share what I learned recently that would've helped me more when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 and seeking the guidance of plastic surgeon and the breast surgeon. My care ultimately was good enough But I realize that getting a second opinion, and looking at more than one surgeon for each part of the surgery would've benefited as really work to make an informed decision On which doctors would be best for each part of my initial cancer care. </p> <div dir="auto">The content of this podcast is not intended to substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
