Running after surgery

Hi

I'm not a runner, but I wonder if you could ring your breast care nurse?  I suspect what the advice would be is 'listen to your own body'.  If you feel it hurts - stop!  I had an 80mm lumpectomy and sentinel nodes removed on the Wednesday and I was back working on the Friday.  Other ladies haven't been so lucky as I and it took them a lot longer to get over surgery, so a lot is down to the individual and how your body can cope with the surgery.

That said, just to be sure - I would ring your BC nurse.

Best wishes,

I had amasetomy and  lymph removal.. I am not a massive runner but was told I could go back to the gym gently after 3 weeks.. but was told to take it very gently .. stop if it hurts etc

Thanks Claire, thats helpful, 3 weeks up next we3k so fingers crossed
