Cancer is in my two breasts. Has anyone gotten a double lumpectomy and breast reduction at the same time (+ lymph nodes whatever?) What should I expect? Will I be able to lift my arms and use my hands? If I can, should I stay overnight at the hospital? Thank you

Frenchie, I'm sure this has been done - but I wouldn't know any details. A double lumpectomy wouldn't be too aggressive a surgery, but with the reductions... I just don't know. Readers, does anyone have advice for Frenchie? PJH
