Hi @D_Tizzle53,
I was your age with my first bc. I remember it took about 3wks for pain to settle down. When I had a Mastectomy, I developed a seroma which needed to be drained twice a week for 5wks- not uncommon. Hopefully you’ll improve now with the right pain killers for you.The cut under the arm is probably the worst bit if you had full node removal. I got fitted with a prosthesis around 6wks post op and wore a bra then. Waiting is the pits so keep really busy/distracted till Tuesday.Ask for a printed copy of your pathology results and keep a medical folder at home.Best wishes xx
