I’ve recently had a lumpectomy and nodes removed. However if I was to do a video I would add that I feel very sore and extremely swollen. I know everyone is different and experiences are different. I get sharp pain shooting through my breast and my rib at times. I’m very bruised as expected and have large cuts. I was in and out in the same day too. There’s areas which are very numb. I have a large indent in my breast too as to be expected really. It’s amazing what the doctors can do and I’m thankful.
I pray you are well now! I recently found out those sharp pains are the result of the nerves which were damaged during surgery and they are mending. The human body is remarkable!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am having a lumpectomy done next week, and I was so nervous. After watching your video, I am not nervous anymore.
Thank you for sharing. I Already had right breast mastectomy done 7 years ago. Soon unfortunately I will be undergoing a lumpectomy on my left breast Stage 0 Negative for Invasive. Sending prayers to all going to through the same thing🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I wish I saw this before my lumpectomy. I just had mine a few days ago and I’m still experiencing a little pain, but seeing this video would have made me feel so much better. I went through almost the same thing you did, except I didn’t have a wire. They did a savi scout a few days before. Right now, I’m waiting for the pathology results. Thank you so much for making this video.
Hi I am so nervous because I went to a plastic surgeon two weeks before my scheduled lumpectomy and he was discouraging me from having it, telling me my lump is close to my areola and I might loose my nipple because it might die... I am so confused he was encouraging me to have a breast reduction :(
Thank you so much Courtney for explaining everything so well. Your looking great! Proud of you, your a brave warrior. Congratulations that it didn’t spread, awesome! I will share my story, in hope that it may help someone that doesn’t know what to do. the first I felt the small lump was 11/15/2020, all that I’m about to share with you occurred in 6 months time frame. I am having surgery 06/28/21 - Radar localization lumpectomy Sentinel nodes biopsy left breast, and a wire localization biopsy right breast. Also I am getting plastic surgery done side-by-side. I didn’t know I can get Plastic Surgery previously, a friend told me if you have cancer your insurance company will pay for plastic surgery for your entire life. You might want to have a consultation with a reputable plastic surgeon, if you feel you may want this option. During my MRI, my right breast lit up, no tumor, 1 cm. Area lit up like a Christmas tree. I went for an MRI biopsy of both breast, left can back cancer, the right came back A Typical, but my doctor says she won’t know if the right breast has cancer until I have the surgery. Interestingly, I first went for the mammogram because I felt a 1 cm lump on my left breast. The biopsy of my left breast came back no cancer, A Typical. The right breast came back normal. Biopsy was negative for cancer. I was told, the (A Typical cells), would turn into cancer eventually 4-5 years, that I had to get the lump removed a lumpectomy. basically, no rush. I went for a second opinion, the minute my new doctor saw me, she said, that she looked at the mammogram, ultra sound diagnostic, all of the images and reports, and that “it may be cancer.” She continue to say, “It looks like cancer”. Then she said, I don’t like how it looks it looks like cancer cells.” I lost my breath for a few minutes and felt faint. Immediately, she send me for an MRI, then a MRI biopsy of both breast, 4/30/21 I was diagnosed with cancer. It is a big deal. Side note, the first biopsy said my tumor was 1 cm the size of a peas, my MRI biopsy confirmed the size of a walnut and growing. I’m at stage 2, it’s treatable. If I listen to the first doctor and waited, we all know the answer. Finally, I had a genetic test 91 genes results, came back negative. I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I don’t do drugs, I don’t party, and I am a vegan. Extremely Clean lifestyle. Also, no one in my family has ever had cancer. The only thing I did different was, I took bio identical hormones because I started menopause 2018, stopped the hormones 3/5/21, doctors orders. I believe the hormones gave me cancer. Please be very careful with bio identical hormones, do your research. Also, get a second and a third opinion, make sure you go to a top cancer hospital with new technology and equipment. I am in Miami and I am going to the Miami Cancer Institute it’s a Magnum hospital. After all, you are so worth it! Do your research please.
Thank you so much for your video, I had been looking for a video of someone who had a lumpectomy experience and found it very difficult . God bless you and I hope you reach full recovery
Thank you for this reassurance. My mom's having her lumpectomy/sentinel lode dissection today. Her breast cancer is stage 3 grade 3, triple-negative invasive carcinoma. She's had 7 rounds of chemo(bi-weekly); 4 of adriamycin and 3 of taxol(2 rounds switched to weekly lower doses). The last(8th) round was stopped by her oncologist due to concerns about her CIPN(Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy).
Thank you so much for making this video. My sister is undergoing lumpectomy. She is soo far away from me and alone. Because of covid none of us could go. She is out of surgery but they have decided to keep her overnight. Before going in, she had sent me a link to your video. Right now, waiting to hear from her and seeing your video is so reassuring. Thank you so so much
Thank you for making this video I too had a lump ectomy three weeks ago I did not have a drain and my breast is still swollen and bruised I was concerned it was infected but they said they think it’s just bruising they suggested chemo radiation and hormone therapy after surgery I have decided to say no it is my body and that’s not the way I want to treat my body therefore I have decided to go to a natural path and do CBD , THC , And I feel confident with my decision
Thank you for sharing this. I'm gonna have to get a lumpectomy soon & I was looking for experience videos. Really appreciate it. Sounds like you did well, I wish you luck.
I had a lumpectomy in 2017. I'm wondering why you needed chemo. I didn't do chemo . radiation or hormones therapy. I did do something natural to build up my immune system. However, the reason I opted out of the aforementioned is because my onco dx score showed that in addition to my tumor being so small there was a very low chance of cancer returning. It's been 5 years now and so far so good. Cancer is not a one size fits all. Each woman has to research her own particular cancer
Thnx 4 sharing.i just had a lumpectomy yesterday..still in bed with some pain..he also removed a lymph node which ill fins out the pathology report in a week....praise the lord jesus yours hadnt spread ..a of course thats my big fear u know..but im trying to document my journey a well for others going own this path....
Thank you SO much for sharing! My biopsy came out clean, but they aren't positive about this tissue, so I have to have a lumpectomy. You really eased my anxiety!!!! Bless you!
Thank you for your video my mom has her sugery in two weeks abs I been crying because I’m afraid she’s stronger than me but knowing that so many women are going though this ease my mind I pray you are all heeled from This thank you
Thanks for sharing. I recently had one done but didn't have the wire. I had a radioactive seed localization procedure done instead. A Dr Lovrics from Hamilton did the pilot project on it and is now used more often now apparently...
When I prayed a prayer of blessings for Benny Hinn's Christian Ministry I was instantly healed of heart palpitations and another time I prayed it I was healed of excrutiating rectum pain. You can try it, try praying it every day, if might heal breast cancer or other problems I don't know. Look him up on UTube or online, it's very interesting. Let me tell you also that the night I read the Bible out loud for a few minutes is the night I went to bed with no neck pain. My reading must have healed me. It was pain so bad I couldn't sleep on my sides or tummy for years only my back. I really try to read the Bible out loud every night since then.
Thanks so much for sharing. It’s very helpful and relieves stress when you hear about what others have been through so I appreciate what you have shared.
Thank you for posting. I'm hoping I will be able to pay it forward to someone or more who need support around this going forward as you have. My bilateral lumpectomy is 2/17/22.
Thank you for sharing....I am almost finished my chemo protocol...2 more left and will be meeting with a surgeon soon so trying to research and get am understanding of what options look like . I think and pray that lumpectomy will be the primary option.🙏🏾
I’m getting ready to have the tumor removed from my right breast I’m done with chemo and I’m having pains after chemo my left hand be feeling numb and hurt in my middle finger no my baby finger in my ring finger on my left hand and my tongue in my throat be bothering me sometime and then from all the chemo and stuff I end up getting HSV and it caused me to have inflammation to the brain into my spinal cord and I had seizures and I was in a coma for two days yeah just happened December 31 of 2021 and now is July 1, 2022 I haven’t had no more seizures or anything but they still got me taking all this medicine and stuff so keep me in your prayers and thanks again I’m gonna finish watching you listening 🙏
I am so sorry you had all those problems. I sincerely pray that things are going much better for you and that you are well on your way to healing and good health. God bless you.
Travis Kraus I do pray everyday. I had a Double Mastectomy on January 9. Went back to the Hospital on February 11-14 for an Infection. Started Radiation on April 14- May 18. Going through Physical Therapy now. And Hopefully I’ll have my reconstruction surgery on November 25. And then next year I’ll have my Hysterectomy and Oophorectomy. Because I found out I carry the BRCA2 Gene.
@@sc5233 they tried but I said no. I did a lot of research about it. My surgeon said hed bring it up at a tumor board meeting comprised of many radiologists and surgeons. They all agreed they would not recommend radiation in my case. I had to follow up with the radiologist appt and still one of the radiologists in that meeting suggested i do the radiation. I said i can end up with heart failure bc this would be over my heart. He said ive never had a case like that. I replied, do you follow your patients for 10 years? He said no. I said well it could tske 10 years. Then i asked if i was your wife or daughter would you recommend radiation? He said no. Id just recommend watching it every 6 months. Enough said. I thanked him and was on my way. I did a ton of research and bc of my research I was not over treated. The radiation dept is a huge money maker for hospotals. Im.not saying it doesnt help in some cases. Im.just saying its not necessary in all cases. Do your homework and question everything.
@@YT-ml8gz Hey there YT2000. Just like you I've had neo adjuvant. Chemo followed by lumpectomy, developed a bad infection, pathology didn't clear margins. So back to have 2 nd go around. It seems it's normal protocol that all lumpectomy patients are coorced into radiation therapy. Your the first YT I've heard to refuse this automatic treatment. I went through 4 1/2 weeks daily radiation. The skin there is now browned and leathery and shrunken on that side. I wear a prosthesis to give me a normal profile. Now their wanting me to go on Anastrozole or Tomoxifen. This is where I'm saying no. All this has gone on for a year and 3:mos. All the Chemo drugs with their similar side effects have me hurting so much there is no way I'm taking an Aromatase inhibitor medication for the next 10 years. I think your right to advocate and research for yourself. Then say when you've had enough of these extremely toxic treatments. I'm moving ahead. Following an anti cancer diet. Fast 1 day a week. It would be nice to keep in touch with others who decide to break protocol but continue with other strategies in their health care. Best wishes YT. I be thinking of you, wishing you well.

Thank you for ur input. I am going in April 1st for my first lumpectomy and I am scared! I have to get the wire first then surgery. I am freaking out. I have to go to a radiology place first for the wire then to a surgery center a mile away. Thanks again .
Don't worry about the wire. You are numbed for the placement, it's very similar to the biopsy procedure. They did it with ultrasound guidance. You will do great :)
GOD I pray you are well and whole today at the time of my comment. If I can only be 25 percent as BRAVE and witty as you are, then I will have succeeded. God bless you, dear, and thank you.❤️
I am so scared, I’m starting chemo soon I have Stage 3 matestatic Breast cancer, my surgeon talked about the options I have about the surgery but at this point I don’t even know what I should do, the whole thing is so scary😭
Don't worry, trust your gut, gather your research and trust in your decision. 😊 Each person's journey is their own, you can do this!! Best wishes to you, please feel free to ask any questions I'm happy to try to help
I’m getting one on December 13th to remove a non cancerous tumor. I talked to an oncologist and she said that my tumors just gonna keep growing because of the size and if I want kids it’s gonna get huge.

The day of my lumpectomy of course I had to have an IV I had a bad experience they allowed a student to do it in my hand felt like she was hitting the bone God it hurt the nurse took over and put in IV then another lady came in to place dye in my breast It hurt so bad I bald like a baby then I was carried to another location to have a wire in my breast and it upset me so bad when the woman said I was a jumper I told her a few chose words The doctor placed the wire no trouble Did you have any bad pain befor your surgery
Hello friend, I am sujatha. I really need your suggestion. I dont have father and my mother is tested as she have cancer tumer of size 1.8cm and type 1 in the right side. Doctors gave us two options either to do lumpectomy or to do mastectomy. I am helpless and I can't make a decision can you tell me the suggestion please.
Hello sujatha how is ur mother's health now? Did she do lumphectomy or mastectomy? B coz im also a breast cancer surviver I have done lumpectomy in Nov 2020. I jus saw ur comment and wish to know ur mom' s health.
I had nausea but that was because I became allergic to the scopolamine patch I’ve always had in previous surgeries. My doc should have ordered an anti-nausea med in case I needed it, (which I did) because I advised her I couldn’t have the patch. I wasn’t nauseous in the recovery but became so riding home, and it continued to get worse over the next few hours so I called the on call doctor who sent over a script to my pharmacy. Lesson learned, if I need other surgeries I’ll ask for the anti- nausea prescription in advance.
Hi! I would say by the next day or two I was up and moving around just fine. Mild pain/discomfort. I did follow whatever recommendations my doctor had given me as far as lifting restrictions/driving, etc. but overall, I felt pretty good and went about my day as normal. I hope that helps!
Make sure you talk to your doctor about Pain Management because it may not hurt while you’re doing it but it will hurt afterwards and don’t let them lie to you cause it does
I had a lump ectomy three weeks ago and did not require a drain however, My breast is still tender and bruised, I was worried that it was infected but they think it’s just still bruising
Saw your video Thank You! I also was looking for an 'after' video. Today is Sat Jan 4, 2020. On Mon Jan 6 I get the 'seeds' then (I think that is the injection (x4) that you got.) Jan 8 Wed I get my procedure done. Saw your velcro bra... jealous they told me to use an athletic bra... I'm thinking if i just had surgery n have a drain how am I getting it over my head and on the girls?!?! We shall see!
You will want to get a bra that either zips, Velcro or have clasps in the front (no underwire). They gave me 2 compression bras in the hospital but I still bought a few more to switch out. Speaking from experience. I had a bilateral mastectomy 3/20/23.
I’ve recently had a lumpectomy and nodes removed. However if I was to do a video I would add that I feel very sore and extremely swollen. I know everyone is different and experiences are different. I get sharp pain shooting through my breast and my rib at times. I’m very bruised as expected and have large cuts. I was in and out in the same day too. There’s areas which are very numb. I have a large indent in my breast too as to be expected really. It’s amazing what the doctors can do and I’m thankful.
I pray you are well now! I recently found out those sharp pains are the result of the nerves which were damaged during surgery and they are mending. The human body is remarkable!
This. No one ever tells you how painful it is especially afterwords, they all lie to you.
Hi I’m getting a lumpectomy soon. Did you do reconstruction? Idk what to do. My dr advise to do the lo flap but I’m scared
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am having a lumpectomy done next week, and I was so nervous. After watching your video, I am not nervous anymore.

@@cocoyael5372 what do their mean u might die is it by loosing the nipple or how
@@cherryndups9014 the nipple in some instances the nerves around the areola sometimes die it’s called necrosis 🥺
My lumpectomy did not go well it ended up a 1/3 mastectomy and looks horrible I will need reconstructive surgery and my areola is a mess
@@barbmakota2911 im so sorry Barb. What happened? Did they have to take more tissue than anticipated? Im having a lumpectomy in December.

All the Chemo drugs with their similar side effects have me hurting so much there is no way I'm taking an Aromatase inhibitor medication for the next 10 years. I think your right to advocate and research for yourself. Then say when you've had enough of these extremely toxic treatments. I'm moving ahead. Following an anti cancer diet. Fast 1 day a week. It would be nice to keep in touch with others who decide to break protocol but continue with other strategies in their health care. Best wishes YT. I be thinking of you, wishing you well.
@@YT-ml8gz is there a reason why you didn’t want it? My mom is going through this same thing. Thanks!
You are so brave! Thank you for sharing! God bless you!
Hello, hope you are doing well,i just had a lumpectomy done on monday and thank god im now cancer free..i pray you are too..god bless you
they were telling me that my breast would not look right this was the plastic surgeon I am so confused.
How are you feeling now, thank you for sharing,I will have very soon. Any side effect.
Thank you 4 sharing..i needed this...Im currently in the taxol regimen..i will have lumpectomy next..Thank u
When I prayed a prayer of blessings for Benny Hinn's Christian ministry I was instantly healed of heart palpitations and another time I prayed it I was healed of excrutiating rectum pain. You can try it , it might heal breast cancer and other problems I don't know. I do know the night I read the Bible out loud for a few minutes is the night I went to bed with no neck pain. My reading must have healed me I think. It was pain so bad I couldnt sleep on my sides or tummy for years only my back. I really try to read the Bible out loud every night since then.
You can try it , try praying it every day.
Thank you the information was very helpful to me.
Thank u for the information, I'll get the wire next Friday then the surgery next week. After many mammograms,ultrasounds and biopsy.
getting lumpectomy on the 28th; stage 2 breast cancer.. if this doesn't work, I'll choose other options besides chemo.
Thank you for ur input. I am going in April 1st for my first lumpectomy and I am scared! I have to get the wire first then surgery. I am freaking out. I have to go to a radiology place first for the wire then to a surgery center a mile away. Thanks again .
Don't worry about the wire. You are numbed for the placement, it's very similar to the biopsy procedure. They did it with ultrasound guidance. You will do great :)
Courtney Keeks I was wondering how u r doing?

GOD I pray you are well and whole today at the time of my comment. If I can only be 25 percent as BRAVE and witty as you are, then I will have succeeded. God bless you, dear, and thank you.❤️

I am so scared, I’m starting chemo soon I have Stage 3 matestatic Breast cancer, my surgeon talked about the options I have about the surgery but at this point I don’t even know what I should do, the whole thing is so scary😭
Don't worry, trust your gut, gather your research and trust in your decision. 😊 Each person's journey is their own, you can do this!! Best wishes to you, please feel free to ask any questions I'm happy to try to help

Thank you 🙏
I’m getting one on December 13th to remove a non cancerous tumor. I talked to an oncologist and she said that my tumors just gonna keep growing because of the size and if I want kids it’s gonna get huge.
When I prayed a prayer of blessings for Benny Hinn's Christian Ministry I was instantly healed of heart palpitations and another time I prayed it I was healed of excrutiating rectum pain. You can try it, try praying it every day, it might heal breast cancer or other problems I don't know. Look him up on UTube and online, it's very interesting. Let me tell you also that the night I read the Bible out loud for a few minutes before I went to bed is the night I went to bed with no neck pain. My reading must have healed me. It was pain so bad I couldn't sleep on my sides or tummy for years only my back. I really try to read the Bible out loud every night since then.
I was wondering how you were doing?
The day of my lumpectomy of course I had to have an IV I had a bad experience they allowed a student to do it in my hand felt like she was hitting the bone God it hurt the nurse took over and put in IV then another lady came in to place dye in my breast It hurt so bad I bald like a baby then I was carried to another location to have a wire in my breast and it upset me so bad when the woman said I was a jumper I told her a few chose words The doctor placed the wire no trouble Did you have any bad pain befor your surgery
Hello friend, I am sujatha. I really need your suggestion. I dont have father and my mother is tested as she have cancer tumer of size 1.8cm and type 1 in the right side. Doctors gave us two options either to do lumpectomy or to do mastectomy. I am helpless and I can't make a decision can you tell me the suggestion please.
Is ur mother ok
Hello sujatha how is ur mother's health now? Did she do lumphectomy or mastectomy? B coz im also a breast cancer surviver I have done lumpectomy in Nov 2020. I jus saw ur comment and wish to know ur mom' s health.
Did you need meds for the pain
What stage were u? What kind of breast cancer?
Did you get sick waking up from anesthesia?
I had nausea but that was because I became allergic to the scopolamine patch I’ve always had in previous surgeries. My doc should have ordered an anti-nausea med in case I needed it, (which I did) because I advised her I couldn’t have the patch. I wasn’t nauseous in the recovery but became so riding home, and it continued to get worse over the next few hours so I called the on call doctor who sent over a script to my pharmacy. Lesson learned, if I need other surgeries I’ll ask for the anti- nausea prescription in advance.
How long after this surgery were you able to do normal activities?
Hi! I would say by the next day or two I was up and moving around just fine. Mild pain/discomfort. I did follow whatever recommendations my doctor had given me as far as lifting restrictions/driving, etc. but overall, I felt pretty good and went about my day as normal. I hope that helps!
@@courtneykeeks2562 thank you I am having a lumpectomy soon I am so afraid of the pain!
Make sure you talk to your doctor about Pain Management because it may not hurt while you’re doing it but it will hurt afterwards and don’t let them lie to you cause it does
Thank you for sharing, does all lumpectomy need draining after surgery ?
Rhonda Tang I had a lumpectomy and did not have a drain tube
I had a lump ectomy three weeks ago and did not require a drain however, My breast is still tender and bruised, I was worried that it was infected but they think it’s just still bruising
Have you had chemo?
I got my mastectomy last march 21 until now I'm feel pain and swelling 😢
So you had chemo prior to your lumpectomy?
I'm wondering why too. I'm having a lumpectomy this April1st and have'nt had to have chemo.
Saw your video Thank You! I also was looking for an 'after' video. Today is Sat Jan 4, 2020. On Mon Jan 6 I get the 'seeds' then (I think that is the injection (x4) that you got.) Jan 8 Wed I get my procedure done. Saw your velcro bra... jealous they told me to use an athletic bra... I'm thinking if i just had surgery n have a drain how am I getting it over my head and on the girls?!?! We shall see!
You will want to get a bra that either zips, Velcro or have clasps in the front (no underwire). They gave me 2 compression bras in the hospital but I still bought a few more to switch out. Speaking from experience. I had a bilateral mastectomy 3/20/23.
