@A MyBCTeam Member: and a little pillow for under your armpit if you have any nodes taken. Helps minimize the skin-on-skin contact which can be irritating. 🩷

@A MyBCTeam Member: Not really i dont think...I had a full right side mastectomy and slept fine in my own bed that night. I had a zip-front post surgical camisole to hold my drain (not sure if you will have a drain..?) but aside from that I didn't really need anything special. You might want to bring a little pillow to put between you and the seatbelt for the right home. Wishing you all the best on your surgery and a speedy recovery! πŸ’•πŸ©·
