Me also bit of a bearer of bad news but everyone is different I had mastectomy early July last year with ax clearance today it still buggers up my movement and hurts, however, I also have expander in currently doing radio. My suggestion would be find a Pinc physio near you or at least a physio that specialises in cancer care. It took me 4 months to get that information even though I was doing exercises I found that physio really helped and took down swelling and has given me less pain. Initially I was given endone for the pain and then lyrica I didn't like being out of it so I just used panadol first few weeks in hindsight it does get better than in the beginning I'm looking forward to being over active treatment and getting back to Pilates and those things that kept me sane regards Tracy
