How long does healing take

Hi Chanel. Sorry you are feeling this way. It's good that you got your surgeon to check you out. I had a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy last November before chemo. It took months for the pain in my breast to reduce. I still get twinges of pain every day in my breast. I think one of the problems is that I lie on my stomach to sleep with my arm up under my pillow. That position stretches my deep scar tissue which causes the twinges of pain. But I also get these twinges during the day.  I get hot flushes every 20 minutes but these only started once I had chemo. In my experience it did settle down and I got used to both. Give yourself time to heal, you have been through a lot both physically and emotionally. I struggled so much going back to work. I was still in shock after my diagnosis and surgery. If I could go back in time I would've taken more time off.

Hang in there. Sending hugs.  Nadine
