Its really great to hear that they will heal, I was losing hope fast and was living in terror of my own body. I was afraid to sleep and walk around and felt like a stranger in my own home. I feel now that I can go on but would really appreciate help on any supplements I can take which will help my nerves heal. At the moment I am on gabapentin but they don't touch the pain and tightness in my chest from the mastectomy. Any help would be very much appreciated, I am glad you are all here and I think you are fantastic in dealing with this. You are angels. Thank you x

Angel - how much of this have you discussed with your oncologist and breast surgeon who did the mastectomy? Surely you can't be the first who has had complications from a mastectomy. Perhaps they can refer you to a plastic surgeon or a surgeon who does difficult breast reconstruction who might look at your mastectomy scar and offer some advice.
