I had surgery on Thursday and had a lumpectomy for a small tumour, am now waiting for results of lymph nodes and surrounding tissue in about 3 weeks time. I’m feeling very sore and tired.

Warm welcome to the club everyone hopes to avoid :-/
Totally normal feeling this way post breast surgery, takes about a week to fully get the annaesthetic out of your system and a common side effect of that is feeling a bit down.
There is a very active (and friendly) Breast Group here (link) you can check out and join to get 'chatting' to others ladies who have been where you are now.
Good luck with the pathology results, all the waiting can mess with your head
Hope this helps a bit, G n' J
Thank you for your reply and your comments, I’m usually a very active person but in this instance I’m going to listen to my body and do what it needs... I lost my dear mum a few months ago too so it’s abit of a double blow... I’ll join the community on here and gain strength from others going through or have been through the same. Many thanks again
