Managing hot flushes & mastectomy?
Hi there! I’m 43 and just had my last round of chemo for her2+ breast cancer. I’ll be having surgery in 2.5 weeks, likely a double mastectomy. I’m Australian but I live in Paris, so it’s winter here ...

While I haven't been through what you are going through BCinParis I had a lumpectomy a few months ago during a cold snap. I layered long sleeve button-up flannelette shirts with zip-up fleeces and jackets to be able to take items off without too much stretching or wrangling. Zips in particular were quicker and easier to handle.
