Surgery 15Th August

Had a bilateral mastectomy with full node clearance on the left and sentinal nodes on the right. Aside from complications, mainly due to or exacerbated by other preexisting medical problems, it was far, far easier than I was expecting. Trust your team, don't be afraid to make your needs known to the nursing staff and just trust yourself too. Button all the way down the front nighties or pyjamas are best, as lifting your arm/s up will be difficult. I found my kindle really good as it's not heavy to hold for reading. Also took my own coffee and tea...life's too short to drink crappy tea! The very best of luck to you and best wishes too.
