Pre mastectomy tips please
I’m a couple of weeks away from having a mastectomy on my left breast. Does anyone have any tips to prepare me that they wish someone had told them before surgery? E.g things to have ready at home for...
I'm a bit late to this conversation, but I had a left mastectomy with full axillary clearance and opted for no reconstruction and yes the drains were a bit of a shock at just how far they went in once they were being removed! Knitted knockers are good and as a knitter myself, gave me something to do in hospital plus I used up some brightly coloured wool. the free barlei bra was great but as I'm quite tiny, the Kmart post -surgery bras ( super cheap and easy to put on) are my faves. I just swap the right side pad to the left and hey-presto. I hope you are recovering well. x
