hey
Im 19 years old and about a year ago I found a lump in my breast they enitialy thought it was a sist because it caused me pain but after a fine needle aspiration they told me it was a fibroadenoma. I went for an ultrasound and desided not to get it removed but a few month later it caused me to much pain and I went for another ultrasound they told me it had grew and that the pain is abnormal so I desied to take it out.
My surgery is sceduled in 3 weeks and I have no idea what to exspect. Can anyone give me some advice on what I can do at home to help my recovery and what to exspect after urgery…also what type of bra should I wear after the operation??
