Newly Diagnosis

I stayed 2 nights and was OK to go home with simple analgesics but not lifting washing/ shopping etc for a few days.You will need bras without wire - breast care nurse offered a free Berlei but had already bought a couple from target. Also was given brilliant "cushion" made by local craft group which kept weight of my arm from my breast esp useful when sleeping. Guess the harder bit for me was wait for pathology results - I had to go back to have margin widened which wasclear.They did sentinel node biopsy also 2 removed 1 clear and 1 tiny spread which they decided radiotherapy and hormone therapy would fix as was estrogen receptor positive like many women.I did not need chemo or mastectomy. All the best.
