Hi, I've been on here a while but not posted much and the LGBTQIA+ group seems quiet to ask this so hope it's ok posting the question here.
I had my surgery yesterday for a double mastectomy and I noticed when I lean forwards a bit and press my arms against my sides, there’s a tiny bit of cleavage (which, being a non binary person I do not want!) but I’m hoping it’s just swelling and this is a completely normal thing that will go away eventually!
Has anyone else had the same thing please? It’s probably very early days still yet and I’m not the most patient person I’m waiting to hear back from my breast care nurse just for reassurance.
Thank you.
