Miffy i cant believe you have had so much done and home already. Wow! Do you have drains? Did you have implants or diep? Glad its all behind you now take it easy girl.
Glad your ok miffy . You must be feeling ok, but promise to rest and take it easy
Great news and your positive mental attitude will help to. I have one of the bags from Drain Dollies. Onwards and upwards eh take care xxx
Hi Miffy, glad you are doing so well and your hubby is doing a grand job.
Have you had your op yet Whales or is it next week?
Girly x
Had op today and have dolly bags for drains 2 and vacuum pump. To be honest not in too much pain but unsure if it’s just having surgery close to it in December. Take care miffy and Conor Chloe
Thanks for all the posts of support and handy helpful top for others to read. You people are truly a god send
District nurse came today and took my drain out. I’ve been really lucky it has only been in for 4 days after the operation. She changed my dressings and was very pleased with the healing process. I’ve only taken antisickness tablets and painkillers this morning, but will take some for bedtime and also sennokot. As my granddaughter would say “ I have a tricky poo!! “. All the very best to you all xx
Glad your doing so well miffy . Fingers crossed for the 15th for you x. I had mastectomy, reconstruction and lipomodelling . Got Breast reduction and nipple reconstruction to look forward to . I go Wednesday for drain out then 5 days later for result and other drain.
Miffy and whales you are both doing so well and reading your ongoing experiences eases my anxiety for large op on monday. Just wamted to say thank you for taking the time and effort to share still on here.
Miffy how long was your procedure. Did they give give you carbohydrate mix to take before your op to help your body cope with op. Just wondering why you feel so sick!
Thanks miffy just got to hospital now. Nervous but positive. Mine is big op too like yours 6-7 hours.
How are you? Xxx
Im ok op was 10 hours in all. Tummy stitched VERY tight to take fat for breast. Drains still in place but up yesterday. All going to plan. Just a little uncomfortable wrapped in a corset in a very hot room but it wont be forever. Glad youre ok and happy with your lovely new size. Mine will be a few month and then second op to finish off.
Conorchloe glad your ok. My god that a long time under. Sending you some love . Take it easy . Just on my way to have a drain out.
Miffy hope your doing ok too
Oh poor you Roxanne T. Hope you get sorted . Nothing worse than pain . I mostly have pain where the node was taken but it’s few and far between. Had the dressing removed today and it seems alittle better . Defo nerve pain
Oh roxanne whatever happened to you down there! Your pain sounds awful. Did you have implant or diep? Like miffy said get as much help snd support from the bc nurses.
That sounds like a good way to keep busy. Hopefully your new pain relief will be better. This is such a marathon.
Im now day 5 recovery still in hospital with 2 out of 4 drains still. Ive had pain in my tummy like a permanent stitch but a full on cough and sneezing hasnt helped. Its put me off from walking tho which is essential to go home. Will ask advice from physio later. Good luck to you on your journey roxanne x
Oh thats great news. Its hard to recover when youre in pain so full steam ahead. Doctor has just been and i can leave today so just waiting for drains to be taken out, shower then i can go.
Well done all of us anf good luck with results ladies x
I had diep flap so tummy is stitched very tight. Im walking around a little bent so my back is the worst. Had a shower and washed my hair so thats my lot for today lol. Take it easy all of us we’ve done brilliant xxx
Hi all hope your all on the road to recovery . Had a minor set back Friday and Saturday had stabbing pain every time I moved so up the meds , nurse and myself think it’s the drain. Drain out tomorrow which I must say I’m looking forward too. Hopefully results too.
Has any of you discussed genetic testing at all?
Thanks miffy . I have to supply the info for the consultant and they will decide about the genetic testing . My aunt dad side Breast cancer and 3 great aunt ovarian cancer . Uncle prostrate. None to mum side. I’m more concerned about my daughter as now me and husband side was mum , aunt and sister with Breast. Not sure if I will get tested
