Fat-sacks Under the arm
How do you ladies deal with the lumps fatty tissue left under the arm after a mastectomy? I find them very uncomfortable and very annoying, and sometimes feel pain from them.
I'm not sure how things work in Public System. You don't say when your Mastectomies were done. So how often do you have a review with an appointment? Are you thinking of Reconstruction? Or do you have your mind made up not to? Perhaps next appointments the nurses there how to ask? Perhaps the Recon surgeons are the ones to do either Recon or tidy up surgery. Do you have a Breast Care nurse? I didn't have one. But if you do give them a call. Ask you GP for advice also. All the best. I hope that you get answers.
