The implant exchange recovery will be easier than the mastectomy. I had drains in for about a week. Returned to work after 2 weeks. Your doctor will provide guidance on restrictions for lifting, etc. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Had a bilateral mastectomy with bilateral lymph node removal and immediate reconstruction 5/15/13. My pathology stated that 13 of 15 nodes removed have cancer.

Yep. Hang in there. Read and eat good stuff and don't add to your receptors. I think that's about all we can do. We do the best we can.
Wishing you a good team
