Thank you so much for all the really helpful replies yes I had chemo and radiotherapy and all went well, I have seen my oncologist several times, he arranged an ultra sound and the results showed that was a fibrous mass and the wound had knitted back too tightly but there was nothing else that could be done. He thought I was an unusual case but offered no other advice, oh he did suggest that I go to a pain clinic and learn how to manage the pain. I am terrified of having reconstruction and would never opt for any operation again even if my life depended on it. I had a good night and slept until 4.30 so I thank god for that much. I just wish I could get the motivation to get dressed and go out for a walk but my head is afraid of my body and something going wrong again. Any suggestions ?
