All the best for your recovery, @mumto6kids - and for your pathology results too xx. Make sure you rest up & don't do ANY housework, lifting. ... anything, til after you see the surgeon xx I hope you have good support at home.
If you are still in pain, even with the meds they've given you - speak with your surgeon's office (or GP) to get an 'upgrade' ... you need to be able to sleep & rest up, & get better & if in pain, it makes it difficult.
When you see the surgeon, they'll give you an idea of your 'game plan' - even if you don't need chemo/rads, you probably will still see both Rad Onc and Medical Onc .... record them all so you can go over it again later xx
take care
