Questions to ask your physician before surgery

                                 

• Which type of surgery do you recommend for me? Why?
• Where will the incision be located and how much of the breast tissue will be removed?
• Will any lymph nodes be removed?
• Will I be able to have breast reconstruction if I have a mastectomy?
• Do you recommend breast reconstruction at the same time of the mastectomy surgery or at a later date?
• Will additional treatment such as radiation or chemotherapy be required following surgery?
• What type of follow-up care is needed?
• How long will it be before I resume my normal activities?
