How long is recoveey from Level 2 Axillery Node Disection
Hi again.
Lots of questions lately, lol. How long is recovery time for the above dissection.
Just wondering about, driving, cooking, cleaning, back to work etc.
Any ideas. Surgeon says couple...

Hi Karen,I had a full node clearance and it was the most painful part of the surgery. I drove and was back to work about 3 weeks later.Some chores were noticeably harder, like hanging out the washing. You just have to feel your way but do your exercises. After 6wks, I couldn't get my arm up so had to have intensive physio.This helped a lot and my arm movement came back to almost normal.We are all different- my friend had no arm issues at all. Tonya xx
