Hi all,
Im having my lumpectomy on Monday morning and just looking forward advice from anyone else who has had the same.
I’ve already had chemo and it’s worked well so there’s no visible sign of the tumour left. I’m not exactly sure what happens in this case other than they will remove the area where the tumour was and do a sentinel node removal. I’ll be in and out on the same day.
How have other people been after this? Sore? Pain manageable and how long did it take to recover? I’ll have to wait for pathology afterwards to find out what happens next.
Just trying not to be too anxious. I have to have a wire guide too I think.

Hi Ruby
I’m glad to hear your operation went well and that you are now at home.
Best wishes

Hope you continue to recover well. I developed a seroma about 12 days post surgery. It's tender, swollen and feels numb, but the surgeon (I saw him at my follow up) was not worried at all. It has made it a little more uncomfortable to sleep, but otherwise it fine and it should disappear by itself in 6-8 weeks. Just sharing as it worried me and then I realised it was all quite normal. Hope you don't experience this.
