My sister is having a mastectomy this week. Anyone know about post op recovery?

[QUOTE="bby31288, post: 512784, member: 182"] My aunt just had a left mastectomy February 6. She had invasive ductal carcinoma. She stayed less than 24 hrs. Stage 1, grade 3. No lymph nodes involved. She came home with 1 JP drain. We had to empty and record until she went back to the dr. February 15. They removed the drain then. She did not have reconstruction. She is 69. She did amazing. Was up and walking on Feb 7. Felt great. The worst part for her was she couldn't shower. ANDDDD the entire house hold came down with Norovirus starting Feb 7 (the day after) so she was hiding in her room. We just saw her oncologist and they are doing a special test, called ONCA test. That will decide if she needs chemo or not. Her cancer showed up in 1 year. December 2010 she had a mamo. it was fine. December 2011 she had 4 tumors, 3 of which were cancer. The ONCA test if you are 18 and under, not chemo, 28 and up yes Chemo, between that, it is a decision she will need to make. Her grade 3, stage 1, she will only need 4 chemo treatments in a 10 week period. It was also estrogen receptive so she will be on Tamoxifin (sp) or something like that for the next 5 years, chemo or not. I am so proud of her. She did amazing!!! [/QUOTE]
