Thanks for comments. I will pass them on to mum. The surgeon straight after surgery commented she had made mum tight and as the discomfort (duct tape tight across chest is similar to how mum describes it) was there from the moment she woke after surgery i don't think it is adhesions. Dr used lumpy stitches....first mastectomy it looked as though the would was only super glued....I think maybe the surgeon has not been as diligent as I would have been in ensuring the second surgery duplicated the first to provide a consistent result. But not much we can do now but hope for improvement. Breast nurse didn't come see mum after second surgery. I had to buy a lightweight bra and stuff it for her. Surgeon encouraged mum to contact breast nurse who was not that helpful and sent mum two different bra inserts through the mail. Quite disappointing as the breast nurse after the first surgery was excellent. The inconsistency of treatment, same surgeon, different hospital, has been a challenge.
