Booked for lumpectomy and sentinel node next Monday, any advice, tips, welcomed
Dear all, After 6 months of being ' chemoed'…. I am due for breast conserving surgery, next Monday. I have to have Node scan and dye, then hook wires stuck into me, then surgery. I am wondering if ...
@Spillsy Pretty much what she said (@kmakm)!!
I had all mine done in the same place on the day of lumpectomy.It all seems to hurt for a bit then it eases , the dye thing is a very weird sensation ! Panadol was all I needed after the op ,I had 3 weeks off work but probably could've gone back after 2 but due to the crap that happens at my work 3 was better !
I didn't drive for 2 weeks & cant remember If that was a directive from the surgeon or not !
Target had a bra that did up at the front ,my berlei one I was given didn't fit properly . I also brought soft sports type bras from best and less $10 each in a larger size than normal ,these were great & I could sleep in them easily .
Good luck , hope it all goes well
Hugs xx
