Mastectomy
Hi all,
so three weeks ago, finished my last chemo. What a relief! Now for the next step which will be mastectomy. Left side only. Just wondering what to expect? How long are the drains in for, how...
I had 51 stitches and they were taken out after 3 weeks.For the 3 weeks ,I wore a binder round my chest, and I only took it off to shower.I came to really like wearing it,it made me feel 'protected' and when the stitches came out the doctor said not to wear it any more, I was quite upset!!! I'm sure I got over it in about a day lol!!i could side sleep again during my 2 nd chemo round, which was about 9 weeks after my surgery. Cheers Robynxxx
