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. The results of your pathology report will probably be ready 3 to 7 days after your surgery. This period of waiting may be one of the hardest you will face.
Mastectomy (1-3 weeks recovery). A mastectomy is an inpatient procedure, so you'll be in the hospital one or two days after surgery. You will have surgical drains in place for five to seven days to help with healing. Those will be removed during a follow-up appointment with your surgeon.
