Hi @rainclouds , thanks for the update. That all sounds very normal for this stage of recovery. Numbness around the breast and underarm is common after a mastectomy and SLNB and can last as nerves heal. Some swelling in the armpit is also typical, especially early on. Keep up with the gentle exercises as advised, and let your care team know if swelling increases, becomes painful, or if you notice redness or warmth.
Please keep us posted on how things go!
Warmly,
The Mods

All well atm, armpit a bit tender but managing to do most things myself now, just a lot slower ! Will be better by the end of the week when I have my check up and get my results, waiting is hard
