Individuals may post an answer if they feel a question is relevant to their situation or if they have a response to a specific question.

There is no guarantee that anyone will answer your posting. WIN ABC staff frequently answer questions as well.

In terms of your question, I don't believe that having lymphedema in your breast could lead to a need for a mastectomy, but should a need arise, there are usually few if any complications.

Should you ever need an immediate response, please feel free to call us directly, toll free at 866-294-6222 or fill out the Personal Profile Form mentioned on this page.
