sorry for your diagnosis but glad you found this site...compared to other types of cancer, breast cancer is very treatable and survivable...Stage 2 is an early diagnosis which should help alleviate some of your anxiety..some discomfort is expected after any surgery...make sure your surgeon gives you a prescription for pain medication...depending on the chemo drugs you get, determines how you'll do...I never had pain, just a few days of feeling "icky", but they can give you meds to help with the side effects of chemo...I kept telling myself I'm going to do whatever I have to do to get the stupid cancer out of my body..try not to look too far ahead and just take it one day at a time...easier to deal with that way...you'll do fine
hugs
