Feelings about single mastectomy

@anniez1943 agree 100%. I am thankful that I did Not have reconstructive surgery. I did talk to plastic surgeon and got info & decided against more surgery. I did not want to have the additional surgery and Complications! My prosthetic works great. I had single mastectomy when I was 66 years young. @lin5 - I did see a Physical Therapist that specialized in breast cancer patients. I’ve had scar tissue issues, but acupuncture treatments are taking care of that. It truly is a journey but life is always beautiful. Blessings

@sequoia Working on getting appt with Certified Lymphedema Massage Therapist. I will try that first, if that doesn't help, then acupuncture as you tried. Thank you for that information. If I have scar tissue, I'm not aware. I do have the tightness in all of area where mastectomy was performed, and thanks to lin15 (I think that's correct), she suggested the Lymphedema Therapist. I'm truly grateful for you gals and your ideas, which can steer us in the right direction. I love the networking. Blessings to all of you!!!!!!!!!!
