i had a lumpectomy many years ago.....basically an owie w a Band-Aid.

i later had dcis surgery (& mastectomy) on the same breast, 20 years later. surgery. i was tired and sleepy, but nothing worse---as any surgery would be. a body uses a whole lotta energy to heal...so....

i did not have radiation or chemo. It was done as a same day surgery, which in my opinion was a good thing. It that kept me clear of kootie pathogens that just meander thru the air.... (silly way to put it but also my earnest opinion). i had wound drainage that i measured each day. the instructions sounded sickening, but it actually was a clean and easy process. lastly, i fortunately had a nearby friend who changed the dressing for me for the first few days: kinda hard to reach, no?

to summarize.....no prob bob!!
