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 

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
