a year agoI was diagnosed with invasive duct Al carcinoma. I had a lumpectomy last Friday. I don’t have the path results yet. I am still feeling weird. I am not sleeping well and a lot of reflux. Is this normal ?
Accepted Answer
It's completely understandable to experience these types of physical and emotional changes after surgery, especially while waiting for pathology results. Many people in this community have shared similar experiences with sleep disruption and digestive issues following their procedures. The combination of healing from surgery, medication effects, and the natural stress of this journey can all contribute to how your body is responding right now. Consider reaching out to your medical team about these symptoms, and know that this community is here to support you through this challenging time.

7 months agoI think not sleeping is very common. Breast cancer is very stressful, and it's a lot to process. I'm more than 3 weeks post surgery and have started to sleep better most nights. It will get better.

7 months agoIt took me 5 months after surgery/radiation for sleep and digestion to settle down. I agree be patient with yourself. It can get better.
