Lumpectomy

Jacksonjet

Hi.  2 months ago I noticed a dent in my left breast.  Went to doctors 21st Aug and was given 2 week urgent referral.  Attended breast clinic on 5th sept and had scans and biopsy on the lump.  Doctor advised that it is a 2cm lump and that I will be going for surgery.   Have appointment on 19th to go through biopsy results and that will confirm if I require further treatment.    Does anyone know how long after biospy results that you go for surgery?

thanks

    Hi Jacksonjet,

    I'm sorry to hear that you are still feeling sickly, but not all that surprised. It takes some time to recover, both mentally and physically from such surgery. I waited until after I got my post-surgical pathology results back, which was nearly 2 weeks. I was self-employed at the time and was fortunate in that I could gradually build up the number of patients I saw in a day, whilst my associates took up the slack. This is too soon to be considering going back full time. Make yourself the priority for a change.

    Kind regards,
