I had the first surgery on 22/12 (I think) and then the mastectomy on 8/1.  I still get muscle pulling and I'm doing my stretches and I still don't wear a bra unless I have to.  Numbness is still there and apparently, I have some cording.  However, chemo has taken over my full attention over the last couple of weeks so cording issues are going to have to wait.  No real pain, now though.
