Hi @sunlover100
Your thread helped as I’ve just had a bilateral lumpectomy with sentinel node biopsy, I was lucky that I only had one incision on each side as the tumours were to the side and back. I also sympathise with the dog walking, physiotherapist told me 6/8 weeks by which time I’ll be on Chemotherapy and Herceptin. He’s a setter and only 17 months old, walks with dogmatic/Halti generally ok but some dogs he reacts to and pulls, mainly little things that barked/yapped at him when he was smaller.
I had my surgery yesterday and am black and blue. There is very few people that have bilateral lumpectomy, even when the night staff came on they asked which side!
I found my lump in right side on April and mammogram thought it was 2.4 cm and ultrasound was 0.9cm so had MRI to confirm size and they found a 0.8cm tumour in the other breast. I’m ER+ in both but HER+ in right only so need adjuvant treatment.
How did you get on with your recovery? What were your biopsy results? Have you linked to Breast Cancer Now Someone Like Me? I’ve held off as I wanted someone with a similar diagnosis as me and have to wait til 24 July to find out about node biopsy.
