question for musicians
Has anyone had any experience of returning to playing their violin or viola after mastectomy? I play the viola and am very worried about the impact of forthcoming surgery. thank you

I don't play an instrument but it's true that arm mobility is extremely variable. I had a mastectomy and axillary clearance (17 nodes) but my arm mobility was painless and excellent within a few days. Others finds it is slower (and a bit more painful). As with so much, patience is often the only course. Best wishes.
