Yes my recovery was quick. I was off from my desk job a week. Take it easy though. Don’t do like I did. I was about and doing about everything like usual. I think this might have attributed to the cording. I had lymph nodes removed as well. I don’t regret my decision. I’ve met a gal from support group. She had lumpectomy about 4 years back and when it came back, she opted for mastectomy. Good luck with your decision. Deep breath and life will come back to close to normal.
