Hi everyone...looking for advice...had my lumpectomy a week yesterday..seems to be healing well...but today I have been alot more uncomfortable...breast feels more swollen and hard...is this normal ? ...Julie
Hi Julie I had my surgery in April and I still feeling uncomfortable and I’ve been told by my breast care nurse that it’s normal. Some days are better than others, it’s slow progress but it is progress. The swelling comes when I over do it, I’m drinking tons of water and resting up watching the tennis.
Hi
Thank you for your reply...suppose I have done more yesterday...so perhaps as you say...that's when swelling comes on ..Are you back driving now ? Julie
