Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Mastectomy has to be done as the margins are positive. It is an operable case and hence you can go for mastectomy and followed by chemo-radiation. Post op radiation is better for you and has better results compared to pre-op chemo- radiation. Consult a general surgeon/ oncosurgeon and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
