Mastectomy

Hello on 16th Oct 2018 I had double mastectomy and implants at the same time.this was because I have life time risk of breast of 50-80%.

I have cowdens syndrome pten gen gives me cancerous lumps and none cancer lumps. I’m healing well.right breast is painful more so than the other one and feels cold to me.but when you touch it feels warm.nurse told me today it looks a tiny bit bigger (right side) but will go down.past 4-5 days I’ve felt faint and sick.cant really eat much not for want of trying,i love my food normally.im drinking loads.i know it takes 6-8weeks to feel ‘better’.my blood count been up and down for 6mths.ive been told I’m seeing blood doctors.not sure that’s gonna happen cos blood count was 130 pre op then 113 day after op.145 2 days before I left.plus low blood pressure for 3 days. Any advice ? Or thoughts please? Sorry for rubbish spelling by the way.
