Hello,
Looking for some advice from all of you experienced, helpful people!
I had lumpectomy surgery on Wednesday, woke up with a drain fitted which I wasnt expecting, but thats ok, as was obviously needed!
Before surgery the BCN advised to wear a comfy bra(a front zip) straight away after and all the time for a few weeks. The struggle is, the pipe from the drain is really uncomfortable underneath it!
Any tips or advice from those that have been through the same? Thanks so much!
