Lumpectomy

Hi everyone. Just want to say hello and to introduce myself. I was diagnosed with breast cancer about a month ago and am having surgery on Friday to remove the lump and some lymph nodes for testing. Not looking forward to it so looking forward some moral support!

  • Hi there.

    I was diagnosed in late August .I have my surgery on Wednesday. Strangely looking forward .just want surgery and recovery period. Going away in December. Radiotherapy will follow .  I'm having  lymph nodes removed as well to check . Good luck with your surgery for Friday 

    How long was recovery,for others,when could you drive again?

  • Hi Gareece ,

    Sending good luck and positive vibes to you aswell for your surgery on Wednesday.

    I had surgery 8th September 22 and woke up to be told the queen had died so won't forget the date for 2 reasons now, and was healed enough to have radiotherapy end of October and into November 22 then started taking tamoxifen for 5 years.

    Don't know about driving as I don't drive but hopefully someone else can answer that for you,

    All the best for Wednesday and keep us posted on how you are. Xxx
