Hi girls
I am with you. I had my first surgery 20/121/11 of wide excision and sentinel node biopsy to be told nodes were clear. Then at post op appt I was informed not enough clearance around the lump/tumor/cancer that was bigger than they thought and minute in the nodes (which I was told were clear but very glad they did further testing) I am waiting on my post op appt for the end of January but I have previously been told I will be having chemo and then radiotherapy. One of my main dramas after having had the drain taken out today (day 7) is DEODORANT!!! We are suffering a heat wave here in W.A. and I NEED to wear deodorant so any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. I have read somewhere Baking Soda but haven't read anything conclusive about it. Can anyone help.
P.S. I haven't started to winge toooooo much yet but I am sure I will shortly down the track so be ready girls.
