Just need to talk to someone
I’m 59yo and newly diagnosed with breast cancer. I’m really not sure I get what is going on either because I’m just slow or it’s just not all clear yet so I feel confused, in total panic and th...
Hello Susan, I hope you're feeling ok! I was very lost when I first got the information. Definitely information overload for me but trust that you're in good care and if you're ever lost just ask.
I've just done a double masectomy and your daughter is very funny with that tee! Haha. But if you're getting it in that print I would suggest a button down version. You will have one or two drain bags after surgery, I found it helpful to have pockets. Either in the shirt or pants with huge pockets. The breast care nurse will take care of you too, I don't think you have to reach out, they will be at the hospital.
All the best for your treatment!
Hikiwipoo, thank you for your kind response.
can ask please about your double mastectomy? Was there cancer in both breasts? I am only being told that the one side has cancer so just chop that one off.
I’ve seen these post mastectomy shirts with pockets for the drain paraphernalia which I hope will be the right choice. Just trying to figure out what size is right from online information and get a more wintertime version given the time of year this is all going on. Do you have a recommendation on where to buy?
I think I’ll be just taking a step at a time, mri is today and another surgeon appointment next week for those results so hopefully it will be less murky to think on everything by then.
