3 weeks post lumpectomy!
Hi ladies, I am having my portacath done tomorrow....I had my lumpectomy and sentinel node surgery 3 weeks ago. I am still feeling very tender.....is this normal? How long is recovery from lumpectomy?...

I was very sore for several weeks after Sentinel Nodes were taken out with the lumpectomy. I took it easy for a week especially raising my arm above my head for hanging the washing out and washing my hair (while I had it).FYI I was also sore for a couple of days and had headaches for 10 days due to the awkward placement of my portacath thanks to my rather large chest. All good after that. So glad I got the port. I've had it 18 months now. Good luck
