This is a major surgery and taking the time to heal, take pain relievers ahead of the pain, and rest.
Also, drainage tubes are the most painful aspects of the post surgery pain.
Anticipate it, the pain will be better two weeks post op, not gone away just better.
Best wishes and I hope you have great results and good margins after pathology!

This is SO TRUE! I am now over 16 years out since diagnosis of HER2 breast cancer. Life is good. I’m also pretty sure the standard treatment may have changed a bit since then but I wish everyone on this thread well and hope you have the best care possible.
