Stay in hospital after surgery
Can someone tell me how long you are in hospital after breast cancer surgery. I am currently having chemo, which I finish in December, and will then have my operation (two lumpectomies in one breast)....

@Lane The lumpectomy surgery is pretty quick. About 40 minutes I think my surgeon said. I was definitely sore for a few weeks but it didn't impact my life too much. Getting dressed and undressed and trying to wash under my arm with soap was probably the hardest part. The scar under my arm where I had 2 x lymph nodes removed hurt a lot more than the scar around my nipple to remove the tumor. If you have all of your lymph nodes removed you will probably notice it a lot more. I can only imagine if you have made it through chemo then you will breeze through surgery xx
