LUMPECTOMY
Hi there, I have recently been diagnosed and have a lumpectomy tomorrow 14 Feb. This is my first surgery in my life, and I am very anxious about it. Would love to chat to someone that has been through...

I had 4 weeks Rads, Mon-Fri - and compared to what I THOUGHT it would be - it was relatively easy - very important to keep the lotions up to the treated area tho! But don't assume that you will NEED Rads - your medical team will guide you on that.
Don't overthink it. Make sure you ask about how long you can't drive afterwards ..... your car insurance may depend on it!!
Yep, the brain goes into overdrive, doing the 'what ifs' ..... try as much as you can NOT to worry about it. If friends & family offer assistance re meals, walking the dog, mowing the lawn & house cleaning etc - take them up on it. It is a win/win situation - they feel good for helping you - and you won't over exert yourself when you shouldn't!! Milk it for as long as you can! ;)
All the best xx
