Any ideas? It's s single one hoping she won't need any treatment and at this stage she doesnt want reconstruction.
I can buy her flowers any time I was thinking of something a bit different?

My colleague had to have a single mastectomy and her must have discoverie s for recovery were a stand for her kindle like this one as it was painful to hold anything up for a while www.ibeani.co.uk/collections/tablet-ipad-stands?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIx6PGnYrC2wIVqpztCh1PcQ2lEAAYASAAEgKjQfD_BwE she also said that the hospital issued prosthetic was very heavy and rubbery so she bought a few lighter weight options. There is great organisation called knitted knockers that knits/crochets prosthetics for people in natural or brights designs.

She may need to sleep sitting up for a while, you could see how much a nice big comfy recline chair would be to hire.
Bags for her drains.
Button up Pajamas, shirts so she doesn't have to lift her arms.
