Welcome to Cancer Chat. I hope you are getting on OK - it sounds like a lot to be processing and I'm sure the uncertainty is difficult to deal with.
Hopefully this forum can be of some support to you. My reply here will give your post a little boost so a few more people should see it. You can also use the search bar at the top of the page to find other relevant discussions and people to connect with, if you'd like to.
We are always here for support whenever you need it, even if it's just to write things down.
I had a lumpectomy and a sentinel load biopsy yesterday following 16 rounds of chemotherapy. It was not nearly as bad as I expected. One second I was chatting to the nurses and anaesthetist and the next second I was waking up in the recovery room. I was very woozy at first but I had no pain or sickness. Since then I have only had minor discomfort. My surgeon did such a good job that, unless you look carefully, you can't really tell that I've had a lumpectomy. Of course everyone is different but if you do have side effects after surgery there is plenty of medication out there to counteract them. Hope that helps and let us know how you get on.
