I had a single mastectomy, out patient, home in 7 hours . I took one oxy with Tylenol that night for pain and switched to Tylenol 600 mg ( Rx strength) the next day and onward until I could take Advil ( regular strength) 3 days later.

I was amazed at how little “ pain” I felt. I do have a fairly high tolerance however.

Best to you!

Thank you! I am having the lumpectomy on Tuesday.

I don’t know why I’m so nervous. I had a colon resection a couple of years ago, I wasn’t this nervous with that! I think it’s more the worry of the sentinel node biopsy coming back positive.

Thanks again for your reply. I will post again after the surgery.
