@Sister. Thanks for that. Am I in trouble for not wearing a bra?? I did initially but it aggravated my nipple area and made it bleed post op, so took it off.

My small pillow supported the boob during the night for the first week or so .... which was good.
@Julesjourney Great info on the lodge .... Port Macquarie has just added 12 more rooms to their lodge, with another 12 when thy get the funding... Luckily it is just across the car park from the treatment area so we can just walk. We stayed there overnight each time when Kieth had his chemo back in 2010. I will contact them as soon as I get the time frame, today. I just hope I am able to book in!!
Are you going Public for the radiation? Does that affect the wait time for getting it done?
I was private for surgery in a private hospital to get it done quickly - but Private Health doesn’t cover radiation apparently.
