Hi Liz767:
My post was for the other lady regarding silicone liners.
I had a lumpectomy and that breast is smaller. I was using padded bras.

I still had pain at sentinel node and armpit after almost a year. Pain in those spots wearing a bra. All bras seem to touch the sentinel node. Could not wear a sports bra as was extremely painful.

At night, I had pain in those spots and arm.
It did not go away until I had lymphedema PT for my breast.

I told her and she applied pressure at various spots that always hurt.

She was able to fix it and now do not have this pain.

2 Doctors said that I had cording.....

Im sorry you went through that i just had my right breast removed and decided no reconstruction my husband sewed cotton in my bra hes the best

I"m constantly amazed at the questions people ask! When I told people I was having surgery I couldn't believe how many people - without batting an eye - asked "Are you having a mastectomy?" I was and only wanted to share that with a select few. I totally relate to the puddle of tears. My best defense was finding a friend who I texted every time someone said something stupid and her reactions always helped me laugh. Sending lots of love!!!!

You rock!!

So right!!!
