Lumpectomy

Offline Peggy_ over 1 year ago

I had an operation last thursday to remove the Lumpectomy and a Lymph node very sore.

Just waiting for the results which is 4 to 5 weeks.

Everything has been a shock and i am very worried.

Also how soon can i wear a bra after my operation.

Thanks

Peggy
