Affects after mastectomy. What's normal?

Hi there keba I was 43 last year when I was diagnosed in May with triple neg, had 8 lymph nodes taken but were all clear, 8 rounds of chemo I still have issues with pain sometimes but its bearable and is helped with the physio etc but didn't have any issues with the skin going black. I still attend physio and pilates etc to help improve the range of motion in the left arm, I had my other boob off in november as well as a prophylaxis after I finished treatment, no regrets there for me but its a very individual decision to make,  no lymph nodes that time but did get a seroma as the dr didn't want to listen to me when I said not to take the drain out too soon, but recovered well from both. I am on the waiting list for bilateral reconstruction.  Are you seeing your surgeon again any time soon??? Or have you seen the physio?? You should still be seeing them after only this short amount of time since your surgery well I was at least, or you could see your gp for a physio referal under a care plan which will give you 5 funded visits if you like, alot of physios just use these for payments so theres no out of pocket expenses, do you have any swelling in your arm???
