I only had radiotherapy , from what I have been reading from others on here it seems its a long healing journey, I find warm clothes help and v shape pillow.
Hi Bonnie Boo.
sorry to hear you are still suffering from your surgery.
I had a lumpectomy for both breasts on the 12th of August and the left one, where the bigger cancer was, is hard underneath and a little tender. I called the breast cancer nurse today and am going to get it checked on Thursday.
Might be worth contacting your nurse for advice?
Wishing you well Bonnie.
Emma
