I had a lumpectomy and can't live with the result. I won't repeat the story, but it's on my previous post.

I want the lift undone but I was told no surgeon would do it before radiation. I don't know if this is true.

I'd rather skip radiation if that's the only way to get the surgery.

Alcie, sadly this forum is not active at all. Is it possible to get another opinion with another surgeon. What about going to a large cancer treatment facility for an opinion? I know with some forms of cancer they do surgery first then wait until the patient is healed before doing radiation.

I am sorry that you are going down this road again.
