I just want to be a normal human again
hi ladies, I need to vent out as I've been crying my eyes out all morning. Day 25 today post bilateral mastectomy with expanders. Had 4 drains in and I have 1 last one in that doesn't want to go!...

Vent away lovely. Every surgeon different and the expansion might actually help reduce the drainage.
Now start planning that outfit. A top and bottom will he needed. Get yourself a jazzy drainage bag that you can wear and they will just assume it is a bag. ..dress up and forget all for a few hours, drain or no drain...take the pain killers...watch the alcohol intake ...and just go have sone fun. One thing cancer has taught me is to just go out and do that when you can. Bo regrets. Kath x
