Hi there Jolanda and thanks for the post

I am sorry to hear about you needing a lumpectomy and your recent injury and how this has affected you.

We would suggest you speak with the breast unit about your concerns about how you and your partner will manage at home post surgery.

The hospital team may be able to sort you out with some additional aids or equipment to help you both alongside other community care and support. So do talk this through with your healthcare team when you can to make sure you get the help you need at this time.

Please get back in touch if you need to.

All the best

Naomi

Thank you for your advice. I was told today the lumpectomy is cancelled because the bone scan has shown cancerous cells in my spine. Treatment yet to be decided.  So the initial problem has gone. No idea what happens now as I wait for  the oncologist to contact me.

Thank you again for your advice.
