During this appointment in mid-October, I was encouraged to find out that a third lumpectomy could be considered which delighted me because by this time I'd ruled out reconstructive surgery.

I had severe headaches from the anesthesia following the first two surgeries in my hometown and no side effects what so following the last surgery In Rochester, MN
