Hi Jenhen

Wekcome and sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. As I don’t drive I wouldn’t know the answer to that. I suggest that you ring your breast cancer nurse to ask if you don’t get any answers  from the ladies on this forum.

Wishing all the very best.

Best wishes

Daisy

Hi there

The key thing is can you do an emergency stop safely (without damaging you or anybody else!!).  If you can then crack on.

I was fine to drive withion a couple of weeks of my mastectomy btw, but we are all different...

Drive safe!

Yes your right. I will see if I can do that safely before I attempt a long trip anywhere thankyou for your reply x

Thankyou I think I will see if I feel comfortable doing short trips and if I am not then wait until I am. X

Hi , when I asked my surgeon about driving (about a couple of weeks after lumpectomy on my left breast) I was told it was a matter for me to decide whether I felt I could safely drive or not.  I have an automatic car so I didn't need to worry about constantly changing gears and I felt I could turn the steering wheel perfectly comfortably and safely so I went ahead and started driving and it was fine.

So if you feel you can safely manouver your car without causing yourself pain then I would start with a short trip and see how you feel.  Any pain when you are driving and I would  drive back home and wait a while longer.

Wishing you all the best xx
