Newly diagnosed - double mastectomy

Hello @Poodle_Lady55, very sorry to see you here! Your story sounds similar to mine last year. I'm still not sure the shock has worn off yet. I was sent home same day following bilateral lumpectomy on both breasts as the MRI had picked up something odd on my non targeted breast prior to placing guide wires. Like you, margins were not clear and an invasive tumour was identified in pathology. 2 weeks after lumpectomy I was back in for bilateral mastectomy. I was only in hospital overnight and went home next day with 2 drains. Luckily i have had no issues with healing or infection and lymph nodes were clear. Drains were removed at home on day 5 by community nurse. Minimal pain killers were used (panadol) but I needed endone for drain removal. You can do this. Best of luck.
