Thanks for your tips - it sounds like we're on the exact same treatment! I'm not the girliest of girls so I think I'll be fine with my wardrobe - I think I'll be buying a lot of oversized shirts and tops with higher neck-lines! It will be nice not having to wear a bra at least! I don't think I'll even be bothered with prosthetics.
I was only expecting to be in hospital for 2 days at the most! Did you have complications? It would be nice for the drains to be removed before I went home. Though I'll have an RDNS nurse come to my house every day until they're out. How did you find the pain from your node clearance?
