This may sound like an irrelevant question but I'm going in for a mastectomy and I have my nails done, they're gel. Someone told me I need to remove any nail varnish/gel beforehand. Has anyone any information on this.
Hello Ahrensmum. I've had two breast operations and both times I received an information leaflet from the breast nurse prior to the ops stating no make up and no nail varnish (fingers & toes) to be worn during surgery. If you've not been given any information from your hospital yet I'd suggest speaking to your nurse to check their procedures. Hope your mastectomy goes well x
Thankyou Anna 12345 for both your advice and kind words. At the end of the day they're just nails. How very daunting this last 3 weeks have been but I'm a glass half full person and with that in mind am trying to rationalise and put things into perspective despite being absolutely terrified.
