This is usually possible when the cancer is on the outer, or arm side, of the breast. She will probably take a few glands from the armpit at the same time.

I have been too embarrassed to go it involve - Women health Question and answer

Question:

  My company offers regular mammography screening but i have been too embarrassed to go. What exactly does it involve?

Answer:

You simply stand while your breast is evened out and smoothed by flattering it between two perspex plates. The x - ray is then taken.

Exploratory on my breast - women health question and answer

Question:
 I have agreed to go into hospital for some exploratory surgery on my breast. I am anxious that the surgeon could remove my breast without my consent. How can I make sure this doesn't happen?

Answer: 
  Once you are in hospital for your operation you will be asked to sign a consent form. It allows the surgeon to carry out an agreed operation, and agreed is the important world. The consent form must contain a written description of the operation that is planned, but sometimes this can be left rather open. In the case of breast abnormalities the operation may be described as 'breast biopsy and proceed as necessary '. The 'and proceed' to the surgeon may mean mastectomy and you must ask him or her to make clear exactly what she intends to do. If necessary you can adjust the words on the form and stipulate 'breast biopsy only' so both you and the surgeon are clear that she cannot proceed any further than that in this particular operation.
