Hi! I had my double mastectomy in July 5th. My first appointment with my surgeon is today to go over pathology reports, staging etc. What questions should I ask??
Here are some questions you might consider asking your surgeon after your mastectomy surgery:
1. Wound Care:
- How should I care for my wound and drainage tubes?
- What signs of infection should I look out for?
2. Mobility and Exercise
- What exercises should I do to prevent my arm from becoming stiff?

Hi Heather! I hope you are healing well! As far as questions go, I would ask about the next steps, any exercises you need to do (you don't want to lose any range of motion, or allow scar tissue to build up), and if there are any activity restrictions.
Good luck with the appt! Hugs!
Write down the details of stage, type and size. write down how many lymph nodes were removed. Find the kindness in the MD and their staff.
