Getting the results of your pathology report. Just like the pathology report you received after your biopsy, you will also receive a pathology report after lumpectomy or mastectomy.

Mastectomy usually takes 1â2 hours. There will also be preparation time and time to recover from the general anaesthetic. A woman could be hospital anywhere between 1 day and 1 week, depending on her individual situation. If a woman has a breast reconstruction at the same time as the mastectomy, surgery is likely to take longer. This means the hospital stay may be longer than after a mastectomy only.
