Hi Debs, I had mastectomy in October 2008, chemo and then radium which finished in June 2009. I could not sleep on my left side even after the radium burns had heeled. It hurt so much. Gradually over a period of about 18 months it has subsided and now I don't have an issue with sleeping on my left side. I blamed the radium on the bones. You said your mastectomy site feels tight. i have used Vaseline Dry Skin Conditioning lotion since i had the surgery as it was recommended to me in hospital. I used it twice daily for the first year and now just once daily. I don't use deodorant under that arm anymore as it makes the skin feel funny and I don't perspire under that arm anymore. I think they took that gland out! Hoping that I have been of some help to you.
Take care, Jill xx
