Hi @AliMarie, I haven't had any breast surgery so can't comment on that. I had a port put in as day surgery. Only took 1-2 hours in theatre. I was on my way home about an hour later. It took about 2 days to get over in terms of fatigue etc. Since I had Chemo soon after it has taken a while to heal up. 8 weeks later and it's still healing. It hasn't had an impact on day to day activities. Sleeping was fun for about 2-3 weeks but I can now sleep on my side no worries. Jen.
