Thank you. I'm having my mastectomy next week. Love the tips and insight

Hi Layla Why was your surgery 13 hour?

First appointment with an oncologist tomorrow, feeling the anxiety. I have the same worries, has it spread, is it treatable

this is so helpful! I just bought both of these things for my mom.

So helpful

Great info! Thanks!

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

Kayla, I wish I had found you sooner. I am now 8 weeks out and had some of the same experience sas you but would certainly have benefited from some of your tips. Thank you for this.

2 weeks before my mastectomy

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

Girlfriend you are using and raising you arms so much more than you should. Please be very very careful.

Really sweet you are this clip really helps me before mastectomy surgery appointment this week ❤ Thank you from Japan ❤

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 🙏

Your words were so helpful and encouraging! I pray you’re doing well today!

Very strong

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

Thank you. This helped my anxiety about my Mastectomy so much.

I’m scared to shower 🥲

Can I get that pillow frm Amazon?

Thank u so much hope u n everyone including me get fully recovered and cancer free 🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️🥀🥀🥀 wish in uk 🇬🇧 they give drain I had to go hospital to drain after 3/4 days it’s feels fluid’s again n it’s pushing my stitches I’m more sore on my chest and armpit 😭

Thank you for all your tips.I am have my surgery the first of next month and I appreciate your sharing your experience so much!💓

Thank you. So much.

Thank you for sharing, Kayla. My Mom is preparing for her mastectomy next month, and I'm doing everything I can to learn and prepare for her safety and comfort. I am so grateful for everything you selflessly have shared with everyone! Bless you!

24:21 thank you so so much for sharing your experience and tips. Extremely helpful! Best wishes ❤

This was so helpful, thank you for making this video, so many good tips, and encouragement.

Thank you for all your tips. I am right now day 3 after my mastectomy and i am going through rough times. Hope you are all healed and healthy!

I’m going to have a double mastectomy soon and your video was so helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience. Hope you are doing well.

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 have my surgery Dec 28 . Feeling nervous now but this video helped

So helpful!! Thank you!

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.

This was so informative, thank you so much. I was just diagnosed so not sure when or how my journey will be. Thank you again. ❤

Thank you, this really helps!

How are you now? Any updates?

Thank you! My surgery is in a week and this was so helpful!

Thank you !!! Thank you very much! Love you!

Very helpful information. Going in for my surgery on Friday and needed to know what to expect when coming home so I could be better prepared so thank you.

Great tips! Thanks❤

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.

Thank you so much for sharing. It’s helpful and appreciated

*hugs* and prayers 🙏 👼💝

oh my gosh This is. a great video. Thank you for taking the time to help all of us who are going through this.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! This video you've made is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for the tips, thank you so much for creating this video.

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.

So thankful for a good report and am so proud of you for focusing on your healing and allowing me to be on this journey with you from afar. I love you!!

Kayla, a million hugs, prayers, and good vibes for you and your family.

You will be in our thoughts on your journey! You got this! ❤️❤️
