I have my breast op tomorrow & although this sounds silly are you able to use shower gel in the morning before I go.i have been told not to use deodorant or creams but shower gel not mentioned thanks.x
Hi Nrw2this, hope the op goes smoothly, I used shower gel before my op and rinsed thoroughly, was fine, no problem. You will have lots of time to talk things over with the breast care team both before and after the op but I know what you mean, it is the little details that confuse us when feeling anxious anyway, best wishes for tomorrow xx
I used shower gel the day of my op and was not a problem. Was told no talc either in case you use that. Hoping your operation goes well tomorrow and swift recovery. X
