Reassurance
I have been having some "pulling" sensations and occasionally sharp pain across my chest and under armpit on one side. Yesterday I had my "mammogram" which is actually auxiliary imaging/squishing of my remaining tissue since, of course, I have no breasts to examine. The radiation oncologist decided also to do an ultrasound based on my symptoms. All was normal! She determined that I am experiencing scar tissue pulling and tightening and recommends some PT to loosen it up. I guess my point is, we can continue to have lingering issues long after surgery (mine was 07) and that new symptoms need not mean something dire
Keep the faith
