DCIS recurrence after 4 years

Don’t worry you will be able to use your hands to do up the hooks and use knife and fork etc and drink although not lift your arms up higher than your bust until you have done at least 2 weeks exercises or lift anything heavy until the physio signs you off to do so. X

Hi ladies. The TU RANGE from Sains is also OK, not expensive, it's called the Seamless stretch crop top. They are very comfy and I took L as I am normally M and they were front zipped. I think whatever suits its not a problem how its fastened just its in the front. 

Somehow I have had good experience post op and am driving a week after. I guess each to their own as long as you feel confident and the GA has worn off. This is not to supercede expert advise but each person's healing time is very individual experience. Importantly, you need to rest and listen to your body. Eat right and drink plenty of fluids. The plaster holds everything in place, although numbness and swelling to be expected, this can go on for some time. My drains came off the next day before I was discharged from hospital but I can now feel the fluid moving around inside and dispersing itself. I find the wound is itching at intervals hoping that is a good sign. I go back to surgeon this Friday for results and check.

Thanks again. Hope you’re still recovering well, Mickey xx 

Thank you C, that really was useful, I would prefer front zips to hook and eyes If I can do that - Mickey x

Hi Mickey. It’s best to check with the Breast Care Nurses as it might be too harsh on the new breast to start with. Good luck for your surgery x

All good thank you x

Will do, I’ve got an appointment with the plastics BCN tomorrow. Glad you’re recovery going well Mickey xx 

I bought a couple online and then the two from Sains and brought one each in for the BCN to see if those would be OK during one of our appointments. Keep the receipts if you need to return. The zips don't dig in which was a relief as I thought it might do. But make sure you get the right size factoring in swelling after surgery.

 Queen Poppy,I understand what your saying, I hope everything goes well this time. My results came back and BCN phoned on Thursday to tell me, I have appointment on Monday with my surgeon to go over them, she said she couldn't go into a lot of detail but according to result I'll have to have chemo. I'll find out more on Monday. X

Thank you, really appreciate you coming back to me. I have now had my CT scan yesterday as luck would have it, as I was there to see my BCN they says they’d do it there and then. I also now have a provisional date if 14/12 - fingers crossed for me. 
thanks again Mickey x
