  • Hi Bonnie12,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    When did you have your surgery? It can take some time to be able to sleep comfortably after a lumpectomy. I used a small heart shaped cushion, which I placed under my arm on the affected side. I found this helpful, as it dispersed some of the pressure from the site.

    I hope that you feel more comfortable soon. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
