Hi@Jax1964 I was 2 days in hospital then home with no heavy lifting for a week or so and a special cushion between my arm and surgery to make sleeping easy as I sleep on my side - given to me by bc nurse. She also provided a free Berlei post op bra.Tbh I had bought 2 post op bras from Target but never really comfortable.Recently a friend told me about Aah bras and I bought 3 on eBay for $15 and haven’t been this comfy since surgery in March - there are variants available Big W , Best and Less etc . I started radiation 4 weeks after surgery finished - be aware if lumpectomy does not have clear margins a reexcision is possible as was my case. Also you will have probably a sentinel node biopsy at time of lumpectomy to determine if it has spread and further surgery is required.Being flexible with your schedule may be wise. I know my last comments may spook you a little but remember you are having a lumpectomy because early breast cancer is their belief.
