Surgery & radiotherapy tips

Hi all,

I'm about to finish chemo after 6 months of treatment so next up is surgery and radiotherapy. I'm having a double mastectomy without a reconstruction as I don't have enough body fat to make it worth having a flap reconstruction. It's going to be tough getting used to this but at least I don't have to have major surgery!

I'm meeting with my surgeon later this week to work out the timing of everything but was wondering if anyone had any tips or issues/options/questions to bring up with my surgeon or breast care nurse?
