Offline Sandra123 over 9 years ago

Hi

I have my daycase op next week for lumpectomy and sentinel node extraction.

Wondering what if anything I need to take in with me. The booklet I received just says book to read and toiletries.

Anyone been in for similar that has words of wisdom of anything else would be appreciated

thanks

Hi Sandra. Had mine in feb. As on other post wear something that's really comfortable and easy to put on. I was told to make sure I had a well fitted sports bra that covers the whole breast. Were you given exercises to do after op? I started them before my op which really helped in recovery from op. I took a warm coat as well for when i left as my discharge was delayed due to my reaction to anaesthetic. It's not bad at all and the best thong is the b***tard is out! All the best for the op.xx
