A bit more info, as you mentioned the difficulties with your non-irradiated breast. My healthy breast just didn't feel right, neither of them did. No lumps but they ached, sometimes intensely. I had just been cleared to do mammograms every two years rather than annually, but went in at 17 months & there was the DC. After the mastectomy, my entire chest relaxed; it was quite odd. No more pain in my left breast, & as I mentioned, my right side is now free of the hitches it was having. The body is an amazing thing, way beyond my intellectual understanding.
I hope your rehab goes smoothly, & that your remaining breast calms down.

I still feel tightness when raising my arms and the pain on the healthy one is a new thing after 8 months out from surgery and with therapy. It's more like adhesion that tries to break up when I raise my arm. Other than that I'm ok.

Your feeling of relaxing is a good indication that your cancer is all gone. I believe that the way our body communicates. I hope I'll get that feeling some day or maybe I'm just a complainer! I have to remind myself that I'm among the lucky ones that cancer was detected early.

Thank you for your good wishes and good news. Every time I hear good news, I feel encouraged!
