Mastectomy blues
Day three after a mastectomy and I feel like I did on day three after having a baby. Baby blues and mastectomy blues must be best mates.

Hi @Blossom1961, I had one of my drains in for a number of weeks and found extra tape (micropore) to really tape it to your side and stop any swinging made a huge difference to the pain level. If you had axillary nodes out your underarm will feel like you've been attacked with a cheese grater for the first couple of weeks and then that will die down. Until then take your drugs, that's what they're there for. Big hugs lovely. Xx
