Like you, I'm new to this. I was diagnosed with DCIS on 6/8/10 & within 3 weeks had had a wide excision with sentinal node biopsy which lead to having a total mastectomy.
Hell of a roller coaster ride!! Not only for my but for my family & friends. I have been blessed with lots of support & a great outcome - no chemo or radiotherapy & as the cancer was wholly contained within the breast it has "gone". I do worry about the remaining breast but shall stay forever vigilant.
On the deodorant - I have successfully used Body Crystal Stick Deodorant bought from local Coles Supermarket for around $12 but am aware of another called Crystal Essence Mineral Deodorant Spray. I haven't used it but am going to see if I can find it to try it out. I'll let you know if it's ok. Also, be aware not to use a blade to shave under your arm (I'm sure you know this already!) - I have purchased a Cleancut personal groomer from The Shaver Shop which has a brush to apply cornflour on the area before use to stop irritation from the blades. Am yet to use it & again, will let you know how I go.
Good luck with your journey,
Hope to chat again soon,
Regards Pamela
