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.
Op was 8 months ago. Haven't really decided on reconstruction yet, it will depend on if I have to pay for it (disability pensioner).
There are reconstruction surgeons in the private hospitals here, but not the public. For that I would have to go to Brisbane, and I have no idea about where in Brisbane to go. I have tried looking up on the hospitals' websites but end up going round and round in circle clicking links to this depart or that department...... very frustrating.
My next review/checkup is next month and it is a phone review.
