I forgot to ask my doctor, but I have the go a head to shower, I have for about a week now, all drainage tubes are out.. Is it good / safe to also soak in the tub for a while. Every now and then I love soaking in the tub. The only problem is, my left breast still has a lot of healing to do, it has a lot of dead skin on it.

I had a mastectomy 4 mo. ago & lymph node dissection (only 2) Recently I have had HORRID axillary body odor, just from that side. No chemo or radiation done. Even after a shower, it's still there. It's even repulsive to me. I really want to stay employed. Has this happened to anyone else?

Now that I've done it all... chemo, radiation, bilateral mastectomy, reconstruction I'm not sure which doctor to speak with when I have concerns. If my arm still isn't 100% from lymph node dissection, who do i speak with about this? Is it my surgeon? I have aches and tenderness near my breast, do I speak with my Oncologist? I want to know about vitamins I should consider taking. Who do i ask. My internist?
