Breast pain and swelling

Hi all,

I had a single mastectomy 4 weeks ago today with reconstruction (implant).  The affected breast seems to be getting every so slightly bigger each day and now seems more tender than before.  I don't think it's infected though (I have no temperature).  I wondered how long it might take for things to get back to normal .... is anyone ahead of me in this journey who could share?  It's affecting my sleep at night which isn't helping....

I had been doing so well but am now struggling as getting frustrated - also am waiting to find out if I need chemo and the waiting game is awful.  I feel as though my life is on hold.

Any advice lovely people?
