Mastectomy January 2020

Sorry just realised there had been a lot more messages after your first one! Have you had your surgery? If so hope it went well :-)

Hi Sarjabas,

I know how it feels... I also started with 'an innocent' looking. small lump, untill the MRI. 

Had the mastectomy with implant reconstruction and sentinel node biopsy over a week ago. I am positively surprised how easy it has been for me so far... The recovery is going super fast and I was lucky not to have too much pain (although I appreciate it is not always that case). I still have some discomfort but manage without any medication and the arm exercises really help, I can notice a judge difference every day. This is assuming you're having some nodes removed as well, which may not be the case! Strangely enough emotionally I feel much better than I did before the surgery.  

Waiting for the pathology result next week. That is my only worry now.

All the best for you, lots of hugsx
