Hi all,
Firstly, a massive thank you to this forum as I have found it a great source of info and comfort since diagnosis.
I have been diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma grade 1 /2 as they have found tumours on biopsy in both breasts. I am 54 and have decided to opt for a double mastectomy and have my op on Tuesday 6th. Does anyone have any advice on
a) what to take to hospital as essentials
b) what to expect post surgery…pain and discomfort
c) what should I get for when I return home. I am lucky that my husband will be here and both my daughters (23 and 20) so I will be well looked after,
I currently feel positive about the op and hoping I recover quickly but aware that there may be bumps in the road and to be prepared is good.
thank you ladies and wish you all well
