Not sure what to do.
Hi Sarahlou84
Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well after your operation. Have you taken any tablets for the headache? Just keep an eye on your temperature and if it goes above 38 degrees ring the Emergency Department and tell them you just had surgery for breast cancer and you should be seen quickly.
Rest up for the next few days to give yourself time to recover from the operation.
Hope you feel better soon.
Best wishes

Thank you for replying. 
yes I have taken paracetamol about harf hour ago.
I have eaten an drank today so that's OK.
I just feel really ill the cough is dry an tickly but my head ache is really upsetting me an feel exhausted. I felt fine yesterday I went for short walk yesterday an day before in fresh air felt ok. But today I just woke up feeling awful. I checked my dressings carnt see a bleed or anything so
Hoping I feel better tomorrow.
Just with no notes not sure what I'm to look out for.
