Hi Nadi:) I suggest that you be upfront with your employer.Until you actually have the surgery,it is really difficult to tell how you will come through it.I had a mastectomy,and approximately 4 weeks later I started chemo.I didn't work out of the home,but I foster several children,and after about 3 weeks I was able to do everything I had before.I also had IDC,but I needed chemo after.EVERY case is different, and until the doctor looks at your complete pathology results,you won't really know what to be expecting.My tumour was deep,and directly behind the nipple,so as my surgeon pointed out to me,a mastectomy was the only option.Cheers Robyn xox
