Hi, new to the group, had my op just over a week ago and have noticed this cording, read up about it and then as stated, contacted my breast care team, I really thought they would be able to show me how to help myself but didn't seen interested,  just told me to massage it, is this normal practice as I've read that you need to be shown how to massage by a specialist physiotherapist, feeling a bit let down tbh Unamused

  • Hi Kia

    Welcome to the Community, I'm Daisy53 and I look after the Breast Cancer and triple negative breast cancer forums.  I'm sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with breast cancer.  While I don't have any answer for you I thought I'd reply to you to welcome you to the community and to suggest that you join the Breast Cancer Forum and ask your question in that forum.  Here's the link to the breast cancer forum: Breast cancer forum.   Hopefully someone will be able to answer your question on there.

    Wishing you the best of luck with whatever comes next for you.

    Best wishes
