About to have double mastectomy no reconstruction - any tips?
Hi All, I have finished 5 months of chemo and next step on 1st November is a double mastectomy and R lymph node clearance, I have chosen no reconstruction. I was just wondering if anyone had any...
Thanks Afraser and arpie, for your welcomes and advice.
I was surprised when my surgeon said only one night in hospital, I expected longer.
I did meet a breast care nurse right at the beginning of chemo, I do have their contact details so will for sure ask them about that cushion.
Thankfully chemo was bearable for me, lost my hair and had some horrible reflux a bit of fatigue, the worst was putting on 10kg!! I think I was boredom eating, right now focussing on tring to lose a couple of kg's before surgery.
