New To BCNA

Hope all goes well @GavinCh and ditto to what Arpie has said re previous post for preparing for hospital I also included a packet of baby wipes which I found handy and a small bottle of something to drink ( instead of water all the time ).  Is Karen having the lumpectomy and any sentinel nodes removed.  ( in which case they will insert a blue dye to map out the nodes )  For me I found this procedure to be quite painful although some don't have a problem. The pain from the op is really okay and manageable and not as bad as what we have built up in our minds and the medications they supply work wonders.  Just have a spare pillow in the car for support on the way home as Karen will feel every bump.  Normally on the day the breast care nurses provide a special Zonta pillow which goes under the arm and is great for support and comfort even when recovering in hospital as well as when you get home.  Thoughts are with you both. xo
