I had single mastectomy with node clearance on a Monday and was home on the Wednesday afternoon. Nurses came round each day to check my wound and the drain and that came out on Saturday. Was off work for 3 weeks but I have quite a physical job. Took awhile to get the stretching back in my arm but back to normal now a year later. Keep an eye out for lymphodema and cording. I didn’t find it that painful. Like others I found it hard to get comfortable to sleep as I was worried about the drain and where the cat was but the little zonta pillow was great. Used it in the car when I went out to put between wound and the seatbelt too. Good luck and big hugs xoxoox
