@bdurel thank you for updating us. I'm sorry that you have gone through so much in a short time. but thank goodness you got that second opinion!!! I'm proud of you for doing that and having surgery so quickly. ❤️🩹 🙏🏻
your concerns are all valid. they should have someone on your UCD care team like a physician's assistant that can try to help you with all of them: wound closure, hair loss, bra/no bra, etc. my skin has become really sensitive from Tagrisso and I can't wear any underwires, but I can use more of a bralette style, which isn't as constricting as a sports bra. a tank top with a shelf bra is another idea. you shouldn't have to feel uncomfortable all of the time! 🫂
did your UCD oncologist see that your chest tube incision is open? I'm not a dr but that looks like it might need a stitch or 2 to me.

@mamajite Thank you for your reply. Dr Gandara at UC Davis only serves as my second opinion. He said that at this point there would be no advantage to receiving treatments there vs here locally in Redding. My local oncologist and Dr Gandara both questioned the post surgery pathology report so had it re run at UCD and they were correct in questioning it. So I was finally given a treatment plan on Friday and have a video appt today with UCD to confirm he agrees. Tomorrow I go to wound care clinic to have that hole looked at because chemo is starting very soon. But it is looking much better.
