I had a drain in for 12 days post op so only had showers, i struggled to get out of bath as i am R handed and that is op side and was advised not to put any pressure through that arm so i turned onto knees first, but other than that i can't think of any major problems x

Perfectly normal my surgeon likes there to be less than 50ml in 24hrs, i had one in for 12 days after recon and still developed a seroma when it came out 🙀

Hi no one seems able to tell me and my Gp is reluctant to refer us for genetic screening. I had a grade 2 Er +ve tumour, only aware of 1 maternal cousin with Bc, but my Mother in law also had Bc, ( daughters gran on dad's side) I worry that she is more at risk as she has relatives on both sides with Bc. Any advice would be appreciated x

I am post Ld recon with implant, i was just wondering how long before you felt it took for yours to settle into it's final position. I am very happy with mine but surgeon says it won't be settled for months !!!

I had mine done on 20th, Ld with implant and am sore & swollen at the moment biggest problem has been finding sports bra's which fit and support my new breast. I have ordered some on line which should be here tomorrow hopefully in time for me to go and have dressings & last drain removed so i can see it uncovered at last x

Hi i had bulging discs in my back before my Bc diagnosis and take Diclofenac 75mg with paracetamol, I have been on Letrozole for 8 months now and now have pain in all of my joints, some days worse than others. For me i have had to make changes to cope with this and for me this works, it is not perfect but i am more aware of my limitations.

Hi i had mastectomy & node clearance jan 2012 and have worn a prosthesis since then, my surgeon advised against recon at the time as radiotherapy can cause problems. although i hate having to faff on with it, it is a very good match to my other side albeit a bit heavy. I am going to have recon done in august and am now pleased i waited as i do have skin tightening caused by radiotherapy. Good luck whatever you decide xx

I would be very careful about going to crowded places, i had sepsis twice with admissions to hospital for iv antibiotics, first time i blame on standing in a que in the open to get into Alnwick castle.
