Double mastectomy

Hi Donna,

I had this operation February 2019. The best bra I have had have been the ones hospital supplied me with prior to my operation.  I have bought from specialised bra shops which are not cheap but I tend to just buy now from M&S, they also do a measure/fitting service too.There are several other high street shops you can purchase from. More often than not they are VAT free.  I wish you well and my thoughts are with you.

Yes m&s are the best imho too, good choice and specialist bras for breast cancer x

Hi

My daughter had a single mastectomy and reconstruction two weeks today,

She was so pleased she had bought a hand held fan, which you can plug in and recharge from amazon, the best thing i took in.

 She is at hospital now two week check up breast nurse and physio , she is doing well, but still has one drain in, but we are coping.

i wish you all the best

Thank you for your best wishes and will look into a fan too as I am always warm normally. Hope your daughter appointment goes well today xx

Hi

A big long pregnancy pillow for when you get home - you won’t be able to lie on your side or front for a while and the pillow allows you some support to move about a bit x

That was one of the first things I have bought and been practicing trying to sleep on my back, normally on my tummy or side so when I have the op I. More used to it x thanks for the advice x
