How long does recovery take after cancer surgery at home?

Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery!🙏

Ty so much

I had a lumpectomy in 2018. Stage was 2b. All good news until April of this year. Started urinating blood, and they found a "cyst" on my kidney. As part of my surgical pre-screening, had a lung CT. Found 2 *suspicious" spots. My nephrectomy is scheduled for October. 6, 2025. I am terrified for my future

Hi, im Teresa. I had my left breast removed on August 29th as well. Recovery is hard...but im doing ok. Stay strong and rest when you need to.

Teresa can we be friends

Christine, I'm so sorry to hear this. u got this

Had my left breast removed in March of 2024. The first two and a half to three weeks were uncomfortable but after that, every day was markedly better. Be kind to yourself - it's a lot. My cancer has returned now to the lymph nodes on the left. Be vigilant about self-exams. I found mine this time. Surgery -chemo - rafiation - then I'm going flat. I figure if there is no breast tissue, it can't come back again.

How did ur come back

?? Jan, not sure what your question is?

Joy were u placed on any medication? I ask as I had a double mastectomy 2017 placed on aromadex and even with no breast's recently dx with breast cancer.the cells woke up in my body after being dormant from the meds. I now have stage 4 breastcancer cells in my system.

Hello Jan. I'm getting my double mastectomy done in November this year. I have opted out of reconstruction. I have been a bit overwhelmed with what I hear about recovery. The cancer was in my left breast as well. I want the absolute least change of going through this again. So I'm taking the left breast as well. I'm praying for you and hope nothing but the best for you and your family.
