Awaiting results after surgery - Mjheke
Hi all, I am so pleased to be provided with information for this online support community! I was diagnosed with breast cancer 12 days ago and it has all been very fast moving and overwhelming since...
@Mjheke welcome to the forum. I had a right sided mastectomy with auxiliary lymph node removal and it took about 2 weeks before I would drive and then I used my little pillow that I was provided by my breastcare nurse and put it between the surgery side and seatbelt. My breastcare nurse told me you are ready to drive again when u think u could tolerate the seatbelt digging into u if u had to stop suddenly. I returned to work about 3 weeks after surgery on restricted duties as I have quite a physical job. Hope you continue to heal well and good luck for your results xoxo
