Yep, hang in there! I had expanders placed at the time of my mastectomy last August. I don't recall a great deal of pain other than the mastectomy recovery. The expansion was fine, but the expanders are awkward. My zumba class has helped so much with stretching and getting rid of the cording and increasing my mobility. We don't seem to have many physical therapists around here, so I am very thankful for that zumba instructor. I look forward to them coming out next week. I hope that recovery is brief. It's all baby steps, one at a time. Sorry the chemo is so hard. Take the meds, and remember it will be behind you soon. It will get better.
