@JulieSav good luck with everything on Wednesday. I am just over 5 weeks post op for single Mastectomy no recon. I think the others have touched on everything. Definitely agree with Sister to take some wipes with you. I also took a few little healthy snacks as well. Also agree with the others about button down PJ's and shirts or a really loose cotton t shirt a few sizes too big. I had a drain in for 2 weeks and I found that was a bit of a pain, was always worried I would catch it on the bed or chair etc. I still don't wear a bra but will slowly start to do that. I have just received my knitted knockers as others I had spoken with here in the tropics say that the prosthesis can be really uncomfortable in hot weather.
I found the surgery itself was not as bad or painful as I thought it would be. I don't miss my boob, it was a relief to have the cancer gone. You will be fine. hugs xox
