Hi ladies. I'm scheduled for my BMX with immediate reconstruction tomorrow. I was wondering (I know everyone is different) how long before you felt up to going back to work? I'm scheduled to take 4 weeks off, but wondering if it's even feasible to return sooner.
My boss took me off for 4 weeks. Could have been back at 2. Had chemo first, which was quite difficult, then bi lateral mastectomy, worked during chemo so after surgery returning wasn't bad. Good luck
After my bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction surgery I was totally drained. I was approved for FMLA and took off 4 months.
I will pray for you tomorrow. Sending healing hugs your way! Bless you!
Today is my first day back - I was off six weeks and had to fight family and friends. They think I need more. I am ready for normal!
4 weeks would be good depending on how you recover physically and mentally. I went back to my office job at 3 weeks after a bmx and immediate recon. You'll be surprised with how quickly you recover :) Good Luck!
