Mich I couldn't agree with you more. I ended up with a red, swollen blotchy yet pert breast which hurt to touch. I had weekly lymphoedema Physio who treated me with manual drainage. It felt Ok for a few hours then would be back to its swollen tender state. My physio & including my surgeon says they haven't seen such swelling in about 15 years. After about 8 months I reduced Physio appointments to once a month and now I'm down to every couple of months for assessment. All in all I think it just righted itself. I can now moderately exert myself without any issues and have gone from thinking about my uncomfortable breast from around 100 times a day to about 5 times. I'm taking a larger dose of fish oils caps which hopefully relives inflammation. Like you I thought post treatment I could put my BC thoughts to the back of my mind for a while and am so glad it's starting to happen now. Good luck, it will improve xxx
