Recovery from breast cancer may take about 3 to 8 months or even longer.
The majority of breast cancer patients require surgery, which takes about 1 week for the surgical wound to heal, and then depending on the type of post-operative pathology, an appropriate regimen is chosen for further treatment.
The type of breast cancer pathology is sensitive to chemotherapy, which improves survival. A typical course of chemotherapy is 28 days, which takes 4 to 6 courses, and the end time of chemotherapy may take 4 to 6 months, so it takes about 6 to 8 months to return to normal.
If the test of hormone receptor is positive after surgery, the endocrine treatment is effective and the oral drug treatment method has little effect on the body, it can return to normal in about 1~3 months after surgery.
If the breast cancer is more malignant and ineffective for chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, biological therapy, etc., the recovery time may take longer.
How long it takes to recover from breast cancer needs to be judged according to the intraoperative and postoperative conditions, the patient’s physical condition and so on, and the surgeon can be consulted.
