How long did it take and what helped x
Hi SarahBear
I am sorry I can't answer your question, but as this is such a busy group your post has been pushed far down the list of posts. I'm therefore answering to get you back to the first page in the hope that there's a lady around now who's had this surgery and can answer your question.
Kindest Wishes, Lesley
Hi SarahBear I had a lumpectomy and I was advised to take 4-6 weeks off work. I ended up taking 5 weeks,,but probably could have gone back after 2-3 weeks. The first few days post op I was quite sore, but I was lucky and the scar healed nicely.
It's important to do the exercises you'll be given as this helps to get the movement back in your arm, My advice is to listen to your body, do as much or as little a you feel you can and be kind to yourself. Best wishes
