Hi Layla Why was your surgery 13 hour?
@Stew196226 күн бұрын
First appointment with an oncologist tomorrow, feeling the anxiety. I have the same worries, has it spread, is it treatable

Mine was completely treatable and I am on the other side, cancer free!

I totally disagree that women should be sent home from the hospital the very next day after a mastectomy. It sure two full nights at the least before discharge
@kaylagrams77532 ай бұрын
I am thankful they sent me home. No sleep in the hospital and I felt really good afterwards.

I love your tip about marking the drain container on the outside. It is so hard to see it otherwise. Thank you for the video. I’m day 7 and watching at 2 am. Sleeping is so difficult

A wealth of good tips ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Prepping a freezer full of precooked meals, cleaning the house beforehand, giving yourself the time for a slow and good recovery (I’ve developed oedema around my scars, possibly because I started doing too much too soon…), these are things I’d like to add. And having someone help with your laundry and changing of bed linen, so you don’t have to change, wash and hang up your own laundry, etc., are more tips I’d like to mention. (And I swear, I tried it the clever way: climbing up onto a milk crate, so I could reach the drying lines more easily 😉) For me, having to deal with the oedema has been by far the worst part of my post-mastectomy journey. Thanks for sharing. This was gold 🙏

How and why do they make you go so early to your house after a surgery like that??? That's not normal where I am from, they are telling me that if everything goes well the minimum im going to stay is 3 days. A mastectomy is no joke

I just had a mastectomy. It’s been 12 days and I know how you’re feeling. I have one drain but my underarm hurts. I don’t have pain just soreness. I’m uncomfortable and sleeping on my back is not easy. My sleep has changed. I’m emotionally drained struggling with this.

I had a single mastectomy. My decision was that if there was no problem, do not take it out. Because of that, post surgery was not as traumatic as her experience. In many ways, removing both is a good idea because clothing will fit better. It is a big decision. The next step here will be radiation which, as time went on after sessions were done, triggered some horrible muscle cramping. Seven years later, I am still alive. You will be, too.

Hi, Kayla. I've been watching your videos. Like you, I have DCIS. Three places in my left breast, while my right breast is clear. On 4/4, I'll have a bilateral mastectomy. No plans of reconstruction, though I'm meeting with a plastic surgeon on 3/15 as a courtesy to my oncology surgeon, who wants me to be as informed as possible. He's suggested a Goldilocks/SWIM form of reconstruction, so we'll see.... Thank you for your courage to put these videos together, and I hope you're doing well.

Very good report and interesting that Rebecca's was so different. Prayers and lots of good vibes in your direction for your upcoming plastic surgery. Jill rowe (rowe casa organics) did a Facebook live surrounding her thoughts on the plastic surgery. She spoke candidly about how women's breasts were created to feed their children not be objects of desire. She said she hated feeling like less of a woman because she had lost her breasts. I thought of that video when I watched your plastic surgery video.
