Mastectomy done

Well I now have one boob
  • I always found the drains to be worse than the Surgery! Glad you're recuperating Lillian, take it slow and look after you. Hugs Melinda xo
  • Oh yes, the drains. Such a relief when they are finally removed! One of mine really hurt - every time I moved it pulled on the stitches holding it in place. Ouch. Luckily they aren't in for too long. Take it easy. xo
  • I don't know what happened to the rest of my post, I did write more than that :)
    Im a righty now. It was always the better performing boob - slightly bigger, always had milk when I was breastfeeding.
    im feeling good except for my drain is sitting on a nerve. The pain is quite excruciating every now and then. I'm afraid to move too much. 
    I had surgery yesterday and this started today :( BC nurse says if I move around I may moved it off the nerve.
    so much fun isn't it!

    Hope you are doing ok @Lillian67. x
  • Are you a leftie or a rightie? I only have a rightie left. My sis in law has a leftie. Together we make a pair. I am glad I only had the one removed now, over a year down the track. I think having both off would have been too shocking for me to cope. How are you now? Feeling better I hope. <3
