Dr. Regina Hampton answered

Specializes in Breast Surgery

Speak to oncologist: This is best answered by your oncology team. If you are not being treated at a designated breast center, then I highly recommend you find one. Recurrence and prognosis are individualized and only your doctors can give you the proper information. Good luck
