Post mastectomy discomfit
My mum had her right breast and lymph node removal two years ago. After treatment finished she decided to have the other breast removed as a precaution and to make it easier in regards to prosthetics....
Hi,I had a left mastectomy 8 yrs ago and I still have a tight sensation as if I have duck tape strapped across my chest.I had previously had a lumpectomy and radiation which didn’t help matters. My surgeon says I have adhesions and there’s nothing to be done.Now here’s the weird thing- when I put my prosthesis and bra on,I can’t notice it.Pressure on the area seems to help.It’s only been 4 weeks for your mum and I’m wondering if a few more weeks might improve things. Perhaps physiotherapy using ultrasound on the tight area might help?Gentle massage?
Hope it improves for your Mum.xx
