Hi Bowie
I had a double mastectomy on the 9th of March and honestly could not believe how well I felt after it. Remember that when they remove your breasts they remove all the breast tissue which includes the nerves so no pain! It really is unbelievable. I had to go back 2 weeks later and have more nodes out because the sentinel node biopsy came back positive and to be honest that was quite painful but manageable. I'm not good at taking painkillers so probably didn't do myself any favours with recovery. Am a week post op today and pain levels are so much better. Good luck! Xx
