My sister is having a mastectomy this week. Anyone know about post op recovery?

[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 512240, member: 6705"] My Grandma had a radical mastectomy about 2 years ago. This is secondhand, since my Dad was there, but: Changing the dressings is very very very important. It isn't as icky gross as most people assume. If they give her Vicodin - use sparingly. Unless she is used to it, it can build up and make her throw up, which will HURT LIKE HADES. Basically, if you're being supportive from afar - ask how she's feeling and then LISTEN. Honestly, I know you're good at it! Just having a woman to talk to will help. :hugs: [/QUOTE]
