Dr. Tasha, thank you for the video. I’m 71 and just had a lumpectomy 3 weeks ago. I get the shooting pains almost daily. I have scared, but glad to hear it’s normal.
This video has been very helpful to me. I’m two weeks out from a lumpectomy and I do have those sharp shooting pains that you describe. I haven’t had to take any medication for it because it doesn’t last very long. I will return to my surgeon in a few days, and I’m also scheduled with an oncologist for early next week. Overall I have done well, and I’m so thankful for that!!!
Just had my breast excision yesterday,it was a really big lump that they removed so my incision was big about 5 inches in length. Tried changing the bandages today and it's hard to not have any support over it as it causes pressure on the stitches (my incision is on top of the breast). I sleep prompted up a little and I put bandage and bra over it to compress my boob. I researched as my surgeon did not gave me any instructions or what to expect after the surgery so this is very helpful of what to expect. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this information. It has been 2 weeks post op since my lumpectomy. I am noticing hard lumps and now I understand this is normal. Thank you!
@Dr Tasha thank you. This is the second time in 19 years I'm dealing with breast cancer, and this time, thanks to advancement in medicine, it is so much easier! I will start radiation on a month.
@@12382576 No I didn't have reconstruction after this most recent lumpectomy 3/2023, nor did I have reconstruction surgery back in 2004, in my other breast.Both breasts look pretty okay, considering and I am happy with how I healed. I have a scar tissue from both surgeries, but I can live with that.
Thank you Dr.Tasha for crucial information. It's been 12 days of my fibroadenoma post op. I used to have sharp shooting pain and the lesion was also about size of an egg. Thus I decided to get that removed. I stsyed 36 hrs on hospital after my exscisional biopsy. I was okay there,maybe it was due to they gave pain relievers and antibiotic through vein. I started feeling pain after I came home. I was really worried why isn't my pain still vanished after tumor removal. Now I understood it's common to have pain after post op.
I have a cyst and inside the cyst there's 3mm node. Since it's tiny, the biopsy can't be done. Going for lumpectomy surgery next week. Hoping and praying that everything goes well.
Hi I had a lumpectomy in Feb and I'm having another one because they found another papiloma...And here I thought I was done for a year.I still get random breast pain from the 1st surgery.
I just had a double lumpectomy in Texas with lymph node removal in both sides and they had to remove some radioactive seeds the radiologist put in the wrong place in both breasts so they dug those out and then the plastic surgeon moved tissue around and my nipples reattached. The Dr told me that they didn’t usually have a lot of pain from this and then called me in Tylenol and Advil, I have high tolerance for medication and she knew I have never taken pain meds but she dismissed it as I’ll be fine. . I’ve talked to many women after their surgery and they said they were given pain meds after. I’ve also been waiting on my pathology report a week today and was told it usually doesn’t take that long. I’m having shooting sharp pains into my armpits and my breast randomly and aching going down my arm. I am wondering how long does this last, maybe weeks, months? I’m guessing maybe it depends.
Hi Dr Tasha, thank you for sharing. I had lumpectomy 1 year ago. Is it normal to be able to see/feel lumpiness with my arm raised? Is it normal to still feel slightly sore & tight 1 year after surgery?

Hi Dr, do you usually get a reconstruction after lumpectomy? My dr said to do a LD flap if I want. My cancer is on the bottom of my nipple on my right breast. There are 2 lesions 4cm apart. Do you advise reconstruction like a LD flap or No reconstruction? Please help
I’m having radiation Oct 16. I am wonder how you made out. Hope you are feeling great. How many treatments did you have? Could you drive yourself? Did you feel ill after?
I have surgery last month on january 14th im concern about my breast feel hard on my nipple as pulling inside n surround the incisions now im having my first chemotherapy can you explain why
My wife had this surgery 34 days ago. Is it normal that the skin where the stitches were removed has not healed completely, most of it it has but about an inch it hasn’t.
@@drtashag do you know of any research on “How to Starve Cancer “ by Jane Mclelland? I have stage 2, a single tumor nothing else involved. I’d like to pursue this starving the T-cell thing if there is good research on it. Vs surgery. Any information would help. Thank you in advance
@@drtashag Thank you Dr. Also is there a chance of developing calcifications post op? Especially if it wasn't there before the surgery. I heard calcifications occur after trauma or surgery to the breast. I'm in my early 20s. I have been very worried and terrified to go for an ultrasound to see how the breast looks after my lumpectomy. It's been 6 months after the surgery.
Hi Dr Tasha, my breast surgeon has put in the comments on my online consent form may need therapeutic mammoplasty, after a lumpectomy they are trained in oncoplasty ? Should a plastic surgeon be involved at this point ? What happens to my other large breast?
A therapeutic mammaplasty is a type of breast reduction surgery that can remove the cancer and at the same time reduce the breast size. The other breast can be operated too to achieve symmetry. An Oncoplastic breast surgeon is usually trained in doing these types of surgeries.
How many women commit suicide after this procedure? I am devastated to be honest and wish i would have skipped it. The tumor is benign but was causing a lot of problems but at this time…I really am just devastated and don’t want to be alive in this manner.
I understand how you feel it's very stressful and constant worry I always have anxiety but I keep busy and I pray about it I hope things get better for you because you are important to someone on this earth that would be sad if you weren't here for them because they love you but God loves you most of all ❤
My mother had a mastectomy but is alive and takes modified citrus pectin to keep it from coming back. We live in a toxic world that causes lumps that could turn to cancer and cancer. I will pray for you. I have skin issues on my face and body. Everyone has something . Please pray
You are extremely doing the most! Women are fighting for their lives with as much as stage 4 and prefer to have no breast yet, you are talking about ending yours over a benign lumpectomy?! It sounds like you need God and mental therapy. I had a lumpectomy and just grateful to be alive no matter how my breast look.
Dr. Tasha, thank you for the video. I’m 71 and just had a lumpectomy 3 weeks ago. I get the shooting pains almost daily. I have scared, but glad to hear it’s normal.
Hi. 3 weeks post op is early days so shooting pains around the surgical site is not uncommon. I wish you well in your recovery 🙏🏽

You’ve been prayed for today
I will be getting a lumpectomy soon. This information is very helpful. Thank you so much Dr Tasha.
You are welcome Regina. Wishing you the best for your upcoming surgery 🙏🏽
Just had lumpectomy in April i feel pretty good
Wish your recovery continues to go well Alecia 🙏🏽
Did u do radiation after?
How does the breast look because I'm so worried is it flat. Do it kinda look normal.

My cancer is 16mil x 16 mil x 48 deep and there will be margins to add to this size too, when does it become too large to have a lumpectomy?

Hi Juan. Yes sometimes wounds break down and take time to heal. I would suggest to see the surgeon to get it checked out.
Thank you for your time Dr.
5 days after lupmectomy still blood discharge from stich
is that normal ?
Thank you

Is it safe to massage the breast after a lumpectomy?
Hi. Yes it is safe to do that. Leave it for 6 weeks or so post op. Be gentle at first but with time it should be fine.

I might be having surgery before Christmas did anyone had surgery before the holiday
Wishing you all the best with your surgery.

Anyone do any reconstruction after lumpectomy?
Usually you won’t need a reconstruction after a lumpectomy.
@@drtashag what if the area is big? Dr said my breast will 25% less so u think that is big?

I got brown fluid leaking from my incision. I’m freaking out.
Are you okay? Did you get it checked ?
Wishing you well
Hi, my advice would be to get this checked out.
Did you end up getting it checked? Hope you’re doing well as well!
