@au0rei thank you for sharing your experiences!
It's very important to do stretches and exercises post surgery. I developed cording from the incision down to my bra line post lumpectomy late December last year. The breast nurse taught me to massage it with bio oil, while waiting for physiotherapist appointment. I also went back to gym and taking yoga, Pilates and body balance classes. By the time I had an appointment with a physiotherapist, the cording was disappeared.
I am going for double mastectomy and reconstruction next Friday. i will definitely follow the instructions of physiotherapist and listen to my body.
Good luck with your radiotherapy for the next 3 weeks!
