I'm not sure why you would choose mastectomy for a Phyllodes tumor; unless of course it was determined to be malignant. Phyllodes tumors can occur at any time in either breast. The usual treatment is excision only with no further treatment necessary.  Regards ....

I have had many surgries in that breast for precancerous conditions, so my doctor and I have decided together, to go for mastectomy based on my family history of breast cancer.

OK, I get it now. I don't blame you at all .... there is a limit, isn't there after so many times. I hope your recovery will be uneventful ... Best wishes
