Obviously, everyone is different. I had my lumpectomy February 3rd and biopsy on 3 lymph nodes. I was in alot of pain and im on hydrocodone for chronic back pain. I couldn't shower for 5 days, just sponge bath. Then developed a seroma. Doctor most likely will have you wear a ace wrap, which gave me some security, however, hard to sleep. Not what you wanted to hear, but I wish someone would've told me what to expect. No radiation. My cells require 4 chemotherapy infusions. 1st was April 13th. A whole new set of difficulties. All from a stage 1, 1cm , triple negative lump!!! Prayers to you. I hope you have help at home.
