Hi, I had bilateral mastectomy and immediate implant reconstruction 6 months ago. I also had 8 nodes removed on one side. I’m still quite stiff on that side and have to make sure I do my stretches every day. I’m also numb under arm pit and a narrow strip down to my elbow. I’ve also noticed I don’t sweat on that side!!! The numbness doesn’t really bother me too much I just have to be extra careful when shaving as I can’t feel a thing.
I sparayed deodorant under that arm the other day (out of habit) and thought my deodorant wasn’t working so kept spraying and because I couldn’t feel it I ended up quite wet. I found this a bit funny. Lol!
Its a big thing to go through that not only affects you physically but also mentally and emotionally. There are some amazing breast care nurses out there who are a wonderful to talk to and help you where needed. I also found that the ladies on here a fantastic and really are a great help as they have been there.
Wishing you all the best. 😊
