Tightness and pain
3 weeks since my bilateral mastectomy. The tightness is wearing me down. I was fine about the mastectomy and the cancer and even chemo but this constant tightness and skin sensitivity is too much. I told the physio at the breast clinic that they should tell women about this and she just looked at me and said "oh ok". I am a very strong woman with a high pain tolerance but I have had enough.

Hi! I was totally not referring to your post as bad news at all, sorry if you felt that - I actually meant on a much much broader scale online and through my research. I can only imagine how hard it is and is going to be and I can 100% be with you when you are feeling enough is enough. Cause I am right there with you. I have no idea how many more punches to the face I can take - and I am a really positive person and also have high pain threshold. So.... I get you sister! :-) And i get the requirement for knowledge. I know its the best thing to do - but just the fear of the unknown of the procedure and recovery. I am just sick of feeling constantly tired scared and beaten up (as most people here probably feel) x
