Surgery for DCIS

Tomorrow I will undergo a partial mastectomy not really nervous but I am wondering how long it will be before I make a good recovery? Not sure what to expect in the next few weeks.

Hi @momathome1, My lumpectomy recovery was not that bad. After the first day OTC pain meds worked fine. I was back teaching online (it was during Covid) five days later. I did the arm exercises provided and regained my range of motion. I hope your surgery goes well.
