April 1 I came out of surgery with 5 drains. Since then I have had 3 more surgeries each requiring drains. I have found myself very frustrated with drain management.
Therefore, my Mom (a BC survivor herself) and I came up with a new product.

Thank you!

Wow ~ 5 drains!!!!!!!!!! I thought my one was a pain. Might you make a short version of this as a shirt? I found myself doing interesting things with my drains when I went outside, like wearing a long shirt and attaching the tubes to my belt loops. I only had the drain for three weeks, an eternity it seemed! The drain usually went into a pocket on my loose pants but I had trouble if the waistband was a tad too tight. Sometimes I pinned it on the outside. But a Wallaby shirt would be just the cat's meow for the most likely inevitable second mast. Colors? Obviously white or blue to start.

Andrea, Since my stage 4dx I have been frustrated by the lack of info for the more practical day to day getting thru this nonsense. As a result I have started a project where I am collecting tips, tricks and all sorts of info that might be helpful to others just starting out. I want to eventually share this info w/cancer centers, forums, social workers etc sot it gets to patients. May I include info about the Wallaby?
