results after mastectomy & chemo plan
On 23rd May I had a skin & nipple sparing mastectomy, all went well with the surgery. My wound has healed well. 3 weeks post surgery I still have the drain in, finally today the output is down to 40...

@MKitty68 that is a real rough start! All the best for tomorrow it'll be ok. I went alone to most of my infusions, my partner came once and my teenage kids came twice. I preferred it that way, I just found that I didn't have the energy to worry about how others were coping by coming along with me. A friend dropped me off to my 2nd infusion but burst into tears seeing me bald, not helpful really. It's hard when you need your boyfriend the most and he's unwell, my partner lives an hour away so at the time was super hard, but so beautiful when he could be here.
Id get coloxyl tablets will work better for constipation. Also rinse your mouth with salt water everyday to help with mouth ulcers. Kennalog paste if they are sore.
I didnt take any supplements or vitamins through chemo as really the chemo eradicates everything and depletes your system, so until I was finished found it counter productive.
Youll surprise yourself self once you start and get going.hugs melinda xo
