Breast Cancer- how quick is recovery after surgery?

Hi after 2 years of my first scan (all clear) came back to the clinic and have biopsy and not very optimistic doctor asking me questions like do I have someone to look after my Twin boys (8yearolds) if I would have to have surgey. Nothing is 100% yet but I worried sick how amI gone be able to look after them when/if I come after surgery. I'm a single full time working mum and no idea how physically draining surgery will be? No family in UK. Big friends support but everyone is working and have their own families to look after. Does anyone been able to care for their children after surgery? Thir father has a nonmolestation order in place so that's option is out. 

Would be grateful for any advice.. thank you

  • Thank you everyone so much. Still no answer they have my biopsy results but called me back for mammogram. Nurse won't tell me is it a good news or bad. Maybe it came clear and they just double checking or it came *** and want to see it better? It means a whole week of waiting. I'm in agony. Can't sleep can't eat feel bad. My dad died of cancer 2 months ago a month ago my nan. 4 years ago my mum. All died from different cancers but it is really hard to think positively.
