Can The Surgery To The Breast And Hysterectomy Be Done At The Same Time?
I m 48y, in 2006 I had surgery of DCIS on right breast with parcial mastectomy. After surgery I had 6 week radiation therapy and was taking Tamoxiphen 5 years. Currently mammogram found another small nodule suspicious on malignant and I had vaginal ultrasound. Last period was in November 2013, ultrasound shows endometrium lining 14mm, not homogenous and cyst on cervix diameter 10mm. miometrium also not homogenous. Do I have to do surgery on breast and hysterectomy simultaneously, what would be your recommendations? Thank you,

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should first confirm that the nodule in your breast is malignant or not. Also the changes seen in uterus are malignant or not.
So decision of surgery should only be after biopsy reports.
So get done biopsy of the breast lump and also from the uterus.
If malignancy is found in both than first operate for breast and than for uterus.
