  • You do need to get to know your new body. I spend a lot of time massaging my arm and mastectomy area and even my good arm and breast. I had a lump in my arm pit on the good arm and the doc sounded the alarm with ultrasound but it all turned out ok as it was an allergic reaction to other meds. Good I noticed it in the first place though, so get to know you body well.
  • Its only natural to worry look it gets easier but l still worry when its test time you had cancer it changes you but dont let it rule you .x
  • Thanks @adean guess you know what am worried a bit about - think will be underlying from now on hopefully lessening as time goes on xo
  • Im post 5 years and my breast still is sore on most days.my surgeon said a lot of people get nerve damage its so hard not to especialy when you are trying to remove cancer. And the skin from radiation takes a while to go. Dont be scared its natural but a trip to the dr is never a miss. Xx adean
