I'm having a bilateral mastectomy may 29th 2018. What should I expect?

I was started with lumps and psin in both my left and right breast in may of 2017. I had my first abscess come to the surface July 2017. It opened up and had to have it surgically opened and drained august 2nd 2017. Packed daily till healed. Shortly after had to have a abscess aspirated with a large needle and they got 37 cc's of fluid. But that still didn't get rid of it. So on August 22nd I had to have surgery again for the same reason. But thos abscess was larger than a grapefruit and had to be packed daily for months. Extreme pain. I ended up having 6 more surgeries for the same reason. Well I'm still having extreme pain because of this disease. I finally decided to have a bilateral mastectomy. I'm wating to know what to expect afterwards. Thanks for your time! Would love to hear some answers!
