I had BC surgery yesterday. Prep time was more than surgery. Had Grade 1 stage 2 ( about 2.5 cm. ) growth on left breast. Doctors all wanted mastectomy but I was firm about lumpectomy ( which I got ) . Total surgery and recovery time was 3.5 hours. Got extra pain med. for chest which lasts about 24 hr. Was very thirsty and a bit dizzy yesterday. Slept well ( 7 hrs. ) and did morning chores today. Still a bit thirsty but no pain. Will see surgeon next week about radiation and chemo if necessary. Only 2 nodes were taken out so very little spreading and no drain to cope with, Have non-opiod pain med to use if needed ( 3 day supply ) Still a bit of brain fog. Glad to be over the mental fatigue of this. Good luck to all !
