Hi Heather,
It's Lisa from the Policy Team. The time it takes to recover after surgery can vary from person to person. It can be helpful to give yourself some time to ease back into your home and work life. Your breast surgeon is the best person to talk to about when you can get back to doing certain things, such as driving. You may also wish to talk to your breast care nurse.

All the best with your surgery!
Lisa
