Hello!
Tomorrow I have surgery for clear margins and a full axilliary node removal.
I am already apprehensive about the lymph nodes removal, but my more pressing concern is that I started my period this afternoon, and and expecting tomorrow to be my heaviest day - the op is in the morning.
What concerns me the most is the flimsy gown and paper knickers.
I’m sure I read somewhere that neither pads nor tampons are allowed in the theatre as they are not sterile?
Have any other ladies had to manage a period whilst having surgery?
