Hi Lukalady,
So sorry to hear about your diagnosis. One minute you are happily going about life normally and then it's like a breast cancer bomb's gone off in your life! Fortunately there are lots of wonderful ladies here who are very supportive and will understand what you are going through.
That time between diagnosis and finding out your operation results is a very dark time - hard to eat, sleep, concentrate, sick with fear etc., so the way you are feeling is totally normal. Will be crossing my fingers that your results come back with the best news possible. Once you know what's going on you at least feel like you have a semblance of control.
Regarding the Chyle leak, my father also had this when he had part of his lung removed - we were told it was a leak from the lymphatic system and he was put on a special diet too (although I think his was a very low fat diet?) which they hoped would help the duct repair itself. He ended up having to go back into surgery to repair it in the end. Having the chyle draining out seemed to quite exhaust him so hope your energy levels aren't affected too badly.
Get well soon
xx
