hello,

in the next 2 weeks i am going for bilateral excisional breast biopsies and duct exploration (sounds better than duct reaming, which is how i usually refer to it :chuckle ). i understand the procedure but noone has given me a clear answer on how much time i should give myself before i return to work. would you share your thoughts and experiences please?

many thanks

Since your doctor will know the details of the surgery you'll endure, they would have a better estimate. And plus, they might noy even know till afterwards.
