Hi, Having my surgery on 31/5, i am very scared although its no longer mastectomy but lumpectomy. The 16 rounds of chemo has shrunk my tumour, that is thecreason including removal of lymp node...
Oh yes, I remember sleeping like a mummy! I'm a side sleeper and after a couple of weeks I was able to hug a soft pillow and semi sleep on my side. Make sure you keep up your exercises. I made up a few of my own (mostly extra over head arm stretches) when I was feeling more flexible and i also increased the rotations of all the exercises from 10-20. Other than some lingering numbness I have had no tightness or problems with my arm at all. take care xx
