Today's the day - lumpectomy and full node clearance

Well today is the day for my surgery - been in a hazy denial until now I think but cleared the last hurdle with a negative lateral flow so good to go. I know this will make it all very real, and I will at least feel ‘unwell’ as up until now I have never felt better. But isn’t it strange handing yourself over to a surgeon when you feel fighting fit and full of life? 

I am having a lumpectomy and full node clearance and the real information will emerge in a couple of weeks time. I am not sure why I am posting this as no real questions I don’t think - just a need to share with people who get it…My information so far is 3.2 mm grade 3 tumour, at least one node with additional cells, ER positive, Her2 -ve. Anyone with similar have any words of wisdom? x

Good luck today with your surgery. I had a lumpectomy a month ago and sentinel node biopsy with one positive node - going back in soon for full clearance. I am the same status as you except my lump was 3.1 cm. I found the surgery and recovery fine but I only had the sentinel node removed. I am excepting the full node clearance recovery to be a little longer.  Wishing you well and post to let us know how you are.
