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 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

    Best wishes for your surgery.

    i had lumpectomy and lymph nodes sampled 4 weeks ago today. I didn’t drive for 2 weeks and I’m off work for another 2 weeks as I have quite a physical job. I didn’t have a lot of post op pain, my main “symptom “ is discomfort from the lymph nodes from elbow to ribcage, feels strange but it’s not pain.

    Hope all goes well for you, xxx
