What to expect during breast cancer treatment: A 4-year survivor's story

Hello, I am 4 years in remission. I was diagnosed in February 2021. I am H2+ HER2-, I received my cancer gene from both of my parents. I was a very rare case. I had a bilateral mastectomy and a partial hysterectomy, removing my ovaries and fallopian tubes. I went through 4 rounds of chemotherapy, lost all of my hair, no nausea(thank God), and night sweats you wouldn't believe. I rang the bell on August 30, 2021. I am also HIV positive. I said all of that to say, if I could make it through, the newly diagnosed can make it through as well.

Is 2 weeks enough recovery time after lumpectomy without a drain?

Surgeon says she won't put a drain in after lumpectomy, and axillary sentinal node removal. Says " arm and breast will swell up alot, up to a week" and " It's 2 weeks total to recover from surgery." I'm 64 years old, diagnosed on 9/18/25 with left breast ER+/Her2-, DCIS, IDC stage 1, Grade 1, < 1 cm, <5 Ki-67. Please let me know your experiences with or without a drain after lumpectomy/sentinel node removal. AND 2 weeks to full recovery sounds like an underestimate to me. Is it? When do stitches/glue/whatever come out/dissolve fully, and insicion is fully healed? I'm very physical at work. Want to plan time off accordingly!! Thank you!

Should I wear a compression sleeve after mastectomy to prevent lymphedema?

For anyone who is going to have a mastectomy, especially one including lymph node removal, I’m going to tell you something my doctors failed to tell me: Wear a compression sleeve after surgery while you’re healing. Prophylactic compression can save you from getting lymphedema. Double that if you’re also going to have to have radiation. You should wear a compression sleeve after radiation, as well. As usual, I found out too late for me, but it’s not too late for you. Trust me, you do NOT want to get lymphedema. It is an incurable, progressive condition that can destroy your quality of life.

How do you cope with depression from hormone therapy like tamoxifen?

Is anyone having trouble coping emotionally with being on endocrine therapy? I started on letrozole, then had to switch to tamoxifen because of mood swings. The mood swings are a bit less pronounced, but I find myself fighting depression. I’m supposed to be in this for 10 years. I won’t make it.
