Hello, this is a very minor issue compared to most of the discussions on this site. I’m having a single mastectomy without reconstruction this week. I know movement on the affected side will be restricted after and there are the exercises to do but have others found they were able to still use their unaffected arm for light lifting/reaching? E.g. getting an individual cup or plate from a cupboard…. or a packet of chocolate biscuits. Thank you!
Hi BF1 welcome to the forum..There should be no reason that you are not able to used the unaffected arm etc. It may feel like a pull on the chest area when you do but take it easy and don't be lifting heavy items. X
