Experiences with

Lumpectomy

I had a lumpectomy just under three months ago following a diagnosis of DCIS after a routine mammogram. It was barely detectable so although I don't feel particularly lucky, I know I was lucky to have it discovered early. The surgery was successful in removing the cancer with a clear margin.

How is recovery from the lumpectomy? They said I could be a day case, what's helpful afterwards? I'm also dreading coming off HRT.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer 3 years ago ,this was followed by a lumpectomy and several weeks of radiotherapy.12 months ago l was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and prescribed levothyroxine 75mg.

Anyone notice breast dimpling after lumpectomy? It has been 6 months after my surgery and I’m seeing 2 distinct dimples showing in the surgery area. I’m thinking it could be from the scar tissue?

8 yrs ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer , I had lumpectomy , chemo , radio therapy . ongoing hormonal blockers for another 4 yrs, my oncologist wants me to start androlic acid to help my bones after a dexa scan showed I had oastiopenia .

Having been originally diagnosed with breast cancer in Feb 2019, after which I had a lumpectomy and 3 lymph nodes removed(the latter were clear), I have been back and forth for many ops due to recurrences including a radical mastectomy after recurrence within 2yrs, and then several different recurrences

It is a 7 month study with monthly labs, checks, etc etc Any suggestions, feedback, or experience with these drugs would be greatly appreciated, (First diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in 2008 Lumpectomy and Radiation at Stanford MBC DX 3 1/2 years ago

Long story short - I had a lumpectomy (where my diagnosis changed from it's original 10 mm DCIS to 35 mm PLCIS) followed by radiotherapy.

In February, due to a breast cancer diagnosis, l had a lumpectomy . There was no lymph node involvement and I have not had chemotherapy or radiation. I have had frequent blood tests and doctor visits and there is no recurrence of cancer.

They followed with surgery (a lumpectomy to the reconstructed breast and targeted radiation to the dermis only. I am now on Ibrance and Letrozole 18 months in NED.

I have been told to stop my meds because I have to have a lumpectomy on 8th May 🙄 I had to stop my Tocilizumab and Sulfasalazine 4 weeks before and my Metoject 2 weeks before. I also had to stop other meds too: HRT (for good) and statin.

I'm about to embark on a 4 week radiation therapy after my lumpectomy. I'm not looking forward to it. I have a weak heart and ultra sensitive skin. The more I read about its long term side effects, the more hesitant I become. Any advice for me? Has anyone skipped radiation treatment?

I firstly had breasy cancer in my late 40s nd had a lumpectomy in my left breast, and 5 nodes out , this took three months to heal and then because of the nodes, i didnt feel completly myslef till 5 years later..

As I posted a couple of months back - I can't believe it was that long ago - I had to stop all my Rheumatoid Arthritis meds to have a wire-guided lumpectomy for intermediate DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). I am 3 weeks on from that now and recovering really well.

I was treated for triple negative breast cancer in 2019 and had a horrible time with chemo, a lumpectomy with SLNB, a second op to clear the rest of the lymph nodes, and finished with 4 weeks of radiotherapy ending in Jan '20.

Hi All, I’m scheduled for a lumpectomy and breast reduction in two weeks. Does anyone have any advice/tips on recovery regarding food, wardrobe, assistance (I live alone). I welcome any words of wisdom.

I had my lumpectomy in end of December and am recovering nicely. I got my pathology report about 8 days after my surgery was done which cleared me for everything – no cancer cells in the margins / lymph nodes.

I had DCIS , lumpectomy , not sure I really need it. I do not deal well with side effects. Thank you!

A lumpectomy and radiotherapy. I also saw my heart surgeon today who says he is happy with my progress , considering the team thought my brain wouldn't survive the CABG. I have plenty to be positive about..! Naturally I'm upset but I'll rise to this new challenge! 💪💪💪💪💜💜💜💜
