Keep stretching it and get onto your BC Nurse when you get back and have her organize an appointment with a physio who specializes in this stuff. Unfortunately it seems cording can sneak up quite a while after surgery.
The pulling thing is creepy, but, from what I have been told regarding my own issues, the best thing to do is keep working at it. There is specific massage that is sometimes used to treat cording where they apply enough tension to break the cords, but it is not pleasant and I certainly can't do it to myself. My physio, however, takes to my armpit with all the enthusiasm of a kid popping bubble wrap, 'Ooohh, there goes another one!' while I'm biting on a towel. Enjoy your holiday, this stuff can wait until you get home. Marg
