Hi,

I am not a doctor, but have had 2 bouts of breast cancer. The first time I had a lumpectomy, but I had a double mastectomy, second time around. Seven months sounds too early to expect everything to be back to normal. It took my scar tissue 2-3 years to settle and I still have discomfort under my arm, where the lymph nodes were removed. It is now 15 years since I was first diagnosed, so I suspect that this is "the new me" post cancer.

Have you spoken to your breast care nurse about this? It might be worth mentioning how you feel, just in case she can help in any way.

Please keep ion touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
