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...
Hi Linda, so glad to hear your surgery is done. Yes, the worst bit pain wise has been the axilla. I had a level 2 clearance, but still get a bit uncomfortable on the chest in front of the shoulder. It's a bit of a strange discomfort, as it's numb at the same time.
Best wishes when radiotherapy starts. I start this week.
Hope ypur recovery continues uneventfully.
Take care, Lyn
