@Andrea_J1 I had surgery on the 6th December. Single mastectomy and I like you am having post surgery blues. I wss really hoping to be feeling so much better physically than I am by now. I ended up with an infection in 2 spots along the suture line. It's getting better but it's been a process. I'm still feeling so tight, hard and restricted along the suture line and under my arm and just want to the uncomfortableness to go away. I think I'm also battling with the changes in my diagnosis which went from lumpectomy with rads or masteconomy with hormone blockers as my surgeon said all indicators were there was no node involvement to masteconomy with chemo, rads and hormone blockers as there were 3 nodes with cancer and I had a total of 16 nodes removed.
I am too normally a very positive person who can always see the silver linings but at times I am struggling. No days seem good but some are better than others.
Hang in there we can do this. All the BC warriors here have done it, so I know I can too.
Happy New Year to all the amazing BC warriors ❤️❤️
