Will be starting chemo on 24/6 and then having double mastectomy. 

Wondering what other people have felt about it being day surgery and how they managed when they got home.

Thank you!

  • I had a double mastectomy and had drains , I coped fine alone at home not much pain the only problem Not driving so drain removal and seroma drainage was hard getting lifts to hospital 

    I was careful to prepare before hand so easy food in house , easy clothes to put on etc
