After DCIS lumpectomy, seroma, and radiation, is it safe to do rehab?

I followed through with having rehab services done today. I must say, I do feel better! I was checked out (ultrasound) beforehand to make sure I didn't have any other seroma complications. The therapist did soft tissue breast massage and some exercises that would help me in reducing the scar tissue.

Good news--glad to hear it. I'm about 13 months post lumpectomy and have a great rolpher who continues to work on the scars and mobility--as do I. It is really worth the effort and my arm is in happy shape. I don't think most people need to continue PT that long, but as I'm going anyway for chronic pain conditions I'm glad to focus on lumpectomy area from time to time. Here is to your complete improvement!
