Breast lumpectomy, also known as partial mastectomy or excisional biopsy, is a surgical procedure to remove cancer or other abnormal tissue from the breast while maintaining the shape of your breast. With this procedure, only the tumor and some affected breast tissue are removed, not the entire breast that is done with a traditional mastectomy.
If your breast lumpectomy did not involve having a lymph node biopsy, you may be able to return to work after three days, but you will need to wait for at least a week to resume your normal activities and exercise. If your breast lumpectomy involved a lymph node biopsy, you may need to take a week off from work and it will be 10 to 14 days until you can get back to your full routine.
Around 97% of women who underwent lumpectomy along with radiation have successfully survived their disease. Although the success rate is high, you will need to be aware of some side effects and risks that come with a breast lumpectomy, including infection, bleeding, pain, tenderness, temporary swelling, and change to the shape of the breast.
