Breast Cancer Recovery Bundle
What's in the Breast Cancer Recovery Bundle?
The Original Recovery Robe by Brobe
- 6 pockets inside the robe for JP drains
- Soft, comfortable fabric that will not irritate surgery incisions
- Three-quarter length sleeves for easy IV access during treatment
- Synched at the waist, giving it a wrap dress-style look
- Incredibly soft cotton blend fabric; stylish enough to wear out of the house
The Pocketed Pillow: Super soft, machine washable pillow, designed to hold hot/cold packs for targeted hot/cold therapy relief.
The Plush Hot/Cold Gel Packs (1 count): Thermal therapy packs can be frozen or heated and fit perfectly into robe pockets and pillow. If heating, microwave for 30 seconds at a time until desired temperature is achieved.
The Post Surgical Drain Belt is a unisex, one size fits most, elastic belt that can be worn under clothing to hold post op drains during surgery recovery. The belt can also be worn in the shower, if you’re cleared to bathe during surgery recovery, giving you the option to shower independently.
Breast Cancer Surgery Recovery
Mastectomy: According to the American Cancer Society, most people can return to their normal activities in about 4 weeks.
Lumpectomy: Recovery after a lumpectomy depends on several factors, including the size of the lump to be removed, type of anesthesia, your general health, and your age. Healing time varies from a few days to a week.
During your recovery period after a mastectomy or lumpectomy, you are likely to experience:
- fluid drainage (collected with JP drains)
- localized pain at incisions
- swelling & bruising
- general discomfort
- hot flashes
- reduced mobility & independence
