Hello fellow mastectomy patients, If anyone could help me out on this? I had a mastectomy done 2 weeks ago, ( 7-25-06 ), and I can't find anything stating the side effects of the surgery. I have pain in the underarm and some pain where the breast was. I have trouble sleeping due to the tenderness of the underarm and breast. Pain meds don't seem to help. Plus I'm a strong woman and everytime I look at the empty breast I start to cry or get very mad at myself. If anyone can give me any thoughts on what to do or help. Even if there is a sight that someone my know , that I can look into. Thank you
