i have a different torture today. The breast which had the lumpectomy is so itchy, deep inside, that I'm going gaga. I've been told not to apply heat packs, cold packs, or massage the area. So how ...
The scar itch I could deal with. I've suffered from eczema all my life and scratching is part of who I am. I know that gentle pressure or a cool flannel helps relieve a surface itch. But this is deep inside my breast and no fingers, or flannels, will reach it. And my care team forbids it! That's like your Mum threatening all hell if she catches you scratching your eczema! it might have to be the whiskey option.
