Well I just lost my whole post - blasted iPhone!!!
i completely agree with Brenda, do your exercises as often as you can. After the first 2 weeks I also made up some new ones to add to the rotation depending on where I was feeling tight. You will need to sleep on your back for a while and it will help to surround yourself with lots of pillows and prop yourself up a bit. When you are able to lie on your right side, sleep with a very soft cushion or pillow under your left arm to stop the pressure and your arm rolling forward.
Hold this soft pillow under your left arm when you are sitting during the day - it will lessen the nerve pain you will feel down the inside of your arm from the sentinel node biopsy.
I hope you continue to recover well, you are off to a great start. Things are a bit different out of hospital - make sure you rest when you need to!
Please let us know when you receive your results. Look after yourself. Merry Christmas!
