Lumpectomy

I had a lumpectomy in September and found the surgery very straightforward and with little pain or after effects. My tumour was easy to access, and had clear nodes. I had no arm or shoulder pain post surgery. I had a very noisy sloshy breast for about three weeks which was peculiar to say the least but  this fluid absolutely re-absorbed as they said would happen. The radiation has made my breast (right) look smaller and frankly a nicer shape than my droopy left breast 😆😆😆 . The difference in size is not discernible in clothes. The rad oncologist says it may get better over time but it’s pretty minor in the scheme of things. Some time in the not to distant past I guess they would have cut it off but the surgeon was very confident in saying  lumpectomy was all I needed. I have a small scar that nobody will see. I am 58 with HER2 neg ER/PR + stage 2b.
I wish you all good things, take care xx
