Yes, it's a horrid waiting time... In fact mine was three weeks and you have so many ifs and buts running around in your head, sorry i can't say otherwise.
The snb was my first ever op, so it was a trial run for my big surgery and I learned a lot that was useful. Luckily, my four nodes were clear so I didn't need treatment other than surgery. Wow, it's exactly a year since my diagnosis.
You may get a bit of swelling, my dressing pulled like mad because of it, so i had it changed after a week. It was a nuisance not being able to shower Or drive for a couple of weeks, and my arm was a bit stiff, but it didn't actually hurt. Best of luck, I do hope you get a good outcome...the snb is a marvellous op compared to the old ops where more nodes than necessary we often taken.
Best wishes,
Nonsuch
