breast abscess surgery, not breast feeding?.... anyone else had this care to cheer me up

[R4roger]

that's it really.
have drains in.
worried about removal of drains. etc. .

have read several stories here but they all seem to be related to breast feeding. clue is in the name mumsnet i spose.

by not breast feeding I mean not breast fed for nearly 15 years! no babies here. just teens.

anyone?

very silent, i must be alone :(

Roger, I can't help you personally as haven't yet had surgery (am currently going through chemo for breast cancer, but having op in the new year), but I'm wondering if it would be an idea to pop onto the tamoxigang thread?

Although it is a cancer related support thread there are lots of us on there who have had breast surgery and might be able to give you some practical tips on how to manage everything

oh thank you mintyneb, i didnt know about that thread
