I'm sorry about the DVT. You could certainly have done without that on top of the rest, but I'm very happy that your bc is in the lowest risk basket - that is truly good news.
I don't have experience of warfarin or radio (I too was originally looking at lumpectomy and radio but they found a second area of cancer, which put paid to that plan). I can say you don't seem in the least loopy to me - it sounds like you are doing really well. It's much easier to be positive when you are getting on with the treatment, so this must be a particularly difficult time. Maybe try to stay focused on good diet, hydration and whatever exercise you are advised to do, to maximise your healing? (That's probably exactly what you're already doing...)
Perhaps the bruising isn't necessarily a good indication of what is going on below the skin and within the incision? You still have some time before that set up session and a lot will change by then. Radio is really 'belt and braces' - with your good pathology there is every chance that all your cancer is already gone.
Do you have a helpful breast care nurse you can talk this through with?
Very best wishes
