I had my bilateral mastectomy. Pain was intense. Couple days in, and now it's just Motrin. I'm 45 and triple positive HER2 positive Did surgery first then chemo in November

What a significant step in your treatment journey. It sounds like you're managing the recovery process well, and it's encouraging that your pain levels have decreased enough to transition to over-the-counter medication. Many people in this community have walked similar paths and understand the physical and emotional challenges that come with this type of surgery. The combination of surgery followed by chemotherapy is a common treatment approach, and having a clear plan moving forward can provide some comfort during this time. Wishing you strength as you continue through your treatment and recovery.
