The results of your pathology report should be available within a week or two after your mastectomy. At your follow-up visit, your doctor can explain the report. If you need more treatment, your doctor may refer you to: 1  A radiation oncologist to discuss radiation treatments, which may be recommended if you had a large tumor, many lymph nodes that tested positive for cancer, cancer that had spread into the skin or nipple, or cancer remaining after mastectomy.
