I am booked to have left breast and lymph node removal in 2 weeks. I have done very well during 6 sessions of chemo and am wondering what to expect post op
I had my mastectomy last Friday, with today only being Monday. I was out of the hospital the following day and have had very little pain so far. The compression dressing began to get very uncomfortable, but the nurses took it off today and just left the main dressing. Sleeping on my back is not easy for me, but I am managing to get a reasonable amount of sleep so far each night. I have a variety of pillows and they are really useful as I just change the arrangement of them each time I wake in the night. I have two drains, but some only have one. They are a nuisance, but easy to manage. Take care x
