What Are The Alternatives Apart From Mastectomy In Case Of Inflammatory Breast?
I have severe inflammatory breast condition that has resulted in septic shock twice this year. I have had a PICC line for IV Vancomycin to treat this condition for six weeks. My third breast surgeon has been discussing with me that I might need to consider a mastectomy. Are there any suggestions?
