Welcome, I had the same operation, with the lilap and axillary node clearance. Originally I thought I was having the operation and just Radiotherapy. But now its chemotherapy. I think that as bothered me the most. I thought time wise. I would be back to normal, but obviously with the chemo, it's a longer timescale, plus losing our hair. I've signed onto some, online courses, "look good, feel better", they do skin and makeup lessons, how to draw eyebrows on, body image confidence etc. So looking forward to that. They are free to sign up.
