Re: Jan Mastectomy on Moday, December 11

[Guest guest]

I totally sympathize, Jan! Your recovery sounds like mine. I had a

lot of swelling and bruising from a hemotoma. Was

actually " bustier " after the mastectomy than before! Take it easy

and let your body tell you when it is ready to take things on. We

all react differently to the experience of having a breast removed

both physically and mentally. Sounds like we could be twins! Hang

in!
