Weekend break three/four weeks after mastectomy/reconstruction?

Hi, I know that feeling of wanting to relax & have normality again, but personally I would wait til you have met with the surgeon & you know what the plan is for your surgery etc.

In my opinion 4 weeks is a little optimistic, just in case of any complications e.g. Seroma, infections, but also you will probably feel pretty tired 

Best wishes x 

Thanks.

I might book it with the added cancellation policy, as a back up then.

Due to various reasons, that is basically the only weekend we can get away for months and I NEED something to look forward to!

That sounds like a good plan 

I hope you get away & have that special family time x

Hi KP20, I went to Cornwall a few weeks after mastectomy and I was fine. I didn’t swim because it takes 6 weeks for full healing- but we did lovely walks and the kids still went in the pool. It’s important to continue living, having fun and making memories. Would be sensible to have cancellation cover just in case (as you’ve said). Sending you a virtual hug xxx

Thanks! 

I don’t mind so much if I can’t swim, long as the kids can - we want to go to Center Parcs so I could probably sit on the side whilst they play on the kiddie stuff!

They have missed out on lots over the last six months - no swimming, no soft play etc so I want to give them some normality after all this! 

They are very lucky to have such a thoughtful mummy! Well done on completing your chemo!! X
