Recovering after surgery

I was diagnosed with DCIS on March 25 and underwent surgery on 15th April. I am healing as I should be but sometimes I get a cold tingly feeling from the breast that spreads through the body. I am also struggling with the numbness in the breast. Has anyone got any advice in how to alleviate the numb feeling please. Ive also had a few days post surgery where I have just sat and cried, emotionally I feel like a dish rag.

    Hi Lashy,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. I am glad to hear that your surgery is behind you and that you are healing well. Keep doing your exercises, as this is imperative to get you back to normal as soon as possible. The numbness should gradually begin to disappear. 
    Please don't worry about your emotional state and crying so much. This all comes with the territory, but crying is a great stress-reliever and your emotional state will slowly begin to improve. Are you having any further treatment post-surgery?

    Please keep in touch. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
