Single mastectomy

Hi Zafy 

Sorry this is second time around for you but glad everything went ok with your op and you are feeling ok. I'm two and a bit weeks post single m and I was surprised how quickly I was able to get up and about and pottering, albeit taking it easy. I'd had visions of being incapacitated for weeks and only needed paracetamol for a couple of days. I too had DCIS and SLB taken. Had results earlier this week and thankfully no further treatment needed. The main thing for me is tiredness. Or perhaps I'm just getting lazy and getting into the habit of an afternoon nap! Best wishes with your ongoing recovery.

Hi  Cushinmad

So glad you're recovering well & great news that no further treatment is needed! Hoping for the same result

Day 2 post op for me now & haven't even needed a paracetamol!

Just want the drain out now and then I can be more active.

Looking in the mirror is hard for me. I'm  in mourning for my (small) boobie  

I'm mostly feeling a big relief that the surgery is over, I was really dreading it!

I think the thought of it is usually worst than the reality, but maybe I've just been lucky. 

Wishing you all the best 

I know what you mean Zafy about dreading it and the thought being worse than reality. You'll feel even better once the drain is out I'm sure.

They'll be no holding me back once the drain is out!

All the best to you 

Keep on healing x
