Welcome Di, I have had a mastectomy it had spread into 14 of my 21 lymph-nodes, chemo and radiation, this was 2006. I had a reconstruction done at same time as mastectomy but ended up with an infection within 4 days so had a second recon done 1 week after first, they had to re-scrape out my lymph-node area and you will be pleased to know i have full use of my arm with little damage, bit of thickening of the scar area but to be expected. I did my physio work a.s.a.p to help with movement and did the encore program which would have helped too. I wish you the very best with what-ever you choose to do and one thing that I've found is exercise at a slow and steady pace (no super-woman stuff!!!) really does make recovery seem quicker. good luck and keep in touch :)
