Drain after surgery
Hi..has anyone had lymph nodes removed, as well as breast excision?? Breast care nurse spoke of drain, and gave me a shoulder bag to be more discrete, and allow easier activities, bathroom visits, etc...
I had bilateral mastectomy on a Wednesday so drain on each side which made sleeping and showering awkward as i had to hold both together to wash! As others have said it's as unique as we all are. Mine were out by the community nurse 5 days after surgery.
