I am glad you have clear margins and lymph nodes! We can certainly celebrate that. Not so much the chemo, has he given you the regimen yet?
Once I was sure I wouldn’t break anything from the surgery, I started wall walking with my hands, whenever I was just standing still I would find a wall and walk my hand up and away from my body until I could start to reach up and out. I really feel that for me( multiple surgeries, but no mastectomy) this was the best exercise to stretch the skin and build some strength again. Have you asked your surgeon for help about his, or a referral for therapy?
