How long should a patient who underwent mastectomy wait before he may start exercises like running & weights?

u should ask your surgeon to be sure. Usually it is recommended 2-4 weeks, but be sure to find out for sure and don't overdo it when he starts lifting because there is a lot of change to the vascular tissue there after that surgery.

at least 3 weeks
