Treatment Choices

  • What do you recommend for treatment? 
  • Will you refer me to an oncologist for treatment recommendations?
  • Will I need additional (adjuvant) treatment (radiation therapy, chemotherapy and/or hormonal therapy) following my surgery? 
  • Am I a candidate for this type of treatment? 
  • Will a sentinel lymph node biopsy be done?
  • Can breast reconstruction be done at the time of the surgery, as well as later?
  • If I choose not to have reconstruction, what types of breast prostheses are available? 
  • Where can I buy a breast prosthesis and is it covered by my insurance?

This is only a partial list of questions that have been compiled.  For more information please log on to www.komen.org
