Hi all. I had a single mastectomy and immediate implant reconstruction and im 3 weeks post op. Saw my surgeon today who was happy with my healing so far so wont see me again for 6 months. Im not totally clear on what I should or shouldn’t do in the next few weeks. I think she said another 2-3 weeks until I raise my arm so my elbow is above shoulder height, 5 weeks til I can drive. I think she said continue sleeping on my back until Im 3 months post op. Im wondering if that all sounds similar to others? Is the 12 week mark when I can start exercising/weight training again? When can I do stuff like vacuuming? It would be great if there was a week by week guide telling me what I can do as each week passes.

@thecrane So much to take in when you go for a follow up appointment. I would suggest you call you breast cancer nurse today asking her to go through your treatment plan with you. Maybe make a chart before hand and write it all down so your know each day and week what’s expected of you.
Take one day at a time at the moment with so much going on, feel sure it will all get sorted out.
I do wish you a speedy recovery, with health and happiness ahead.
Hugs Tili
