Going back to work after lumpectomy

Don't rush it as could cause a set back, I had 3 weeks off (I work in a care home doing activities!) 

I think that being a housekeeper can be a bit much even light duty.  I know that you are getting antsy to return but healing is important and don’t want to have a setback.  I think that getting outside and going for walks and doing some light stretching and exercising will make you feel good.  

Hi, I was advised to book 6 weeks off work. I arranged for 5 and eventually took 3 off sick and 2 on vacation, which was a big plus in terms of being ready to return.  I worked all through chemo and I know I could have gone back earlier after surgery but I am convinced taking the time really did help me heal, physically and mentally.  Best wishes
