@Hulos good work on shrinking your tumour,glad chemo was successful. In hospital I generally wore normal clothes. Front opening pyjamas were necessary. However every morning I would get up shower and change to normal clothes . I had drains for several days. I found i just needed to lift my loose fitting top for examination.
I wanted to be seen as normal, not a patient and wore jeans jumpers tee shirts cardigans etc
I was lucky and was surprised how easy the process was. No it wasnt a bed of roses and yes I had some pain but overall It was okay. Everyone is unique and different. Some ladies have geniune problems others dont.
I had clear margins so was a very happy chappy. Best wishes hope things go well.
