Hi Jodie, can totally relate as I am nearly four weeks post right mastectomy and the night before last I couldn't believe I slept right through the night.Wondered if it was a Milo before bed but I was pretty happy. It will get better and you will be surprised at what difference even a week makes. last week I couldn't bear too much over my skin it was so sensitive.Sleep on my back and left side at times but not right side yet. First few weeks always slept with my pink silk pillow helping my right side. Medication before bed and lots of pillows does help. Good luck with your recovery and sending hugs x
