I had this too but my husband massaged my arm every night and my numbness is gone 11 months later! I also had itching under my skin. It’s gone too except in one area. Please discuss this condition too on your channel. Thank you!!!

You videos have been very useful to me. I am two months post right breast mastectomy. I have recovered well but have some cording and a tight scar ending in a dog ear. It is the dog ear I am struggling to beak down with scar massage. The cording seems to go down to this point and is more problematical into the scar and chest than in the arm itself. Have you any advice, and do you cover the dog ear in any of your videos?

One week post mastectomy. Your video is informative and reassuring. It also boosts confidence and helps in the healing and recovery process. Thank you!❤

Jen, should I be doing the massage sitting or laying down?

Thank you so much for information and analogies.

Why as an Australian professional do you used Americanised spelling? It really does make one wonder. In Australia we use s not z in many words like personalised. As an educator,I find this disturbing that ‘influencers’ such as yourself cannot get the basics of correct spelling.

Thank you for your video Jen. I have recently had a lumpectomy and am due to have radiotherapy when a haematoma has resolved itself. My problem is that I have had rheumatoid arthritis for many years which has badly affected my shoulders and I have very restricted movement, particularly in the left shoulder. The surgery was done on the right breast but I have been told that I will need to raise both arms for the radiotherapy. I'm starting out with a physiotherapiest this week but I wish I'd been told this right at the start of the process although even then I'm not sure how much I can improve the situation due to torn rotator cuffs and other long term damage. Is there any way I might be able just to raise my right arm do you think?

Should the L-Dex be completed prior or post surgery?

Actually my 2 oncologists were men and would not even mention this to me, I when I asked they said no you don't have RF I SAID WELL NO I HAVE PULMONARY FIBROSIS FROM THE RADIATION THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS ON THE PET SCAN YOU ORDERED MAYBE YOU DIDN'T LOOK AT THAT PET SCAN OKAY.. I can't believe what this medical so called specialist oncologist in hematology/oncology. And I'm not saying because they're men because even if they're men and they wouldn't know what it feels like or would know anything but they are oncologist that are supposed to look at the scans evaluate them see what the notes were and what the radiation oncologist interpreted but not they don't care if it ain't they're dealing with they don't want to do s***

Well pulmonary fibrosis is more like it, and that's worse than my breast cancer reading into to this ... Thank you so much for your knowledge and sharing with US

I did not have radiation but i did have a complete mastectomy. I get a lot of rib pain

ok i dont know if i am taking this the wrong way but this video didnt help me one bit. I was expecting to hear the actual science behind the raditation that is making us fatigued, not our mental state of mind. smfh i was not fatigued at all before starting radiation, im an active person and now i cant even sweep my floors without stopping in between to sit down because im exhausted. I cant even cook a meal or do my laundry without being physically exhausted!! So to make a video saying its because we went through all these treatments and blah blah blah thats why were fatigued instead of explaining what the radiation is doing to us, shows you really dont know! It is literally the radiation being put into our bodies that is causing this extreme fatigue!!!!

Any exercises for post lumpectomy

Thanks so much for these cording videos. I have gained new insights and can see that the info and exercises will be very helpful, in addition to my office visits to an excellent occupational therapist who I visited for the first time. Greatly appreciate you doing this.

Wow. Thank you for this important information. I was not told of the need to apply daily moisturizer. I had a bilateral mastectomy due to a tumor on the left side (+BRCA2 mutation). Only 4 nodes were removed and none, thank God, were cancerous. I was prescribed a compression sleeve, the doctor said as a precaution. The only real warning I was given was to avoid cuts and bug bites on that arm, but there wasn't an emphasis on the cascading impact a simple scrape or bite could cause. I was told I'm at low risk of developing lymphedema, so perhaps that's why no one on my health team has discussed these points with me. I'm so glad I watched your video.

Thanks for posting this! .. Just started Radiation on Monday: will be having it every day..... Chemo was very exhausting, but got through it.... Taking one day @ a time.. This was so very informative & so very helpful.... He'd my Surgery on May 8th.... Praying for complete Healing!... Having much Faith in God.. Praying for all of us too!!! 🙏💖

Two months after my radiation I am having sharp gasping pain in my breast. And fluid : (

Radiation therapy..i will be going through in 6 weeks time..A real shock to me to find i had a cancer in my left breast.. although only a small lump..it was a Shock..found in a very unusual place..having gone through a C.T. Scan for another issue..this lump was picked up...which never was detected in my mammogram..id had a few months earlier which i had been told was clear..as i have other health issues..after my surgery for Lumpectomy..i thought a piece of case..i did realize how much ofy Energy Would be Zapped..I have recently come out of Hospital..have gone for my Postop check up....

CAN YOU POST NAME OF PADS TO SOFTEN SCARS I CAN NOT FIND ON THIS PAGE THANK YOU

Wow, very educative program, please keep it up, have learnt alot.👏👏👏

How do you treat fibrosis?

Do you ever use essential oils with massage to treat cording? Also want to thank you for your helpful information.

Lots of videos online recommend castor oil or vitamin E does this really help?

Thank you for the info. Radiation treatement caused my nipple skin sometimes goes thick then goes back to normal soft skin. Any recommendations. Also development of fat necrosis is it common?

Three years after you posted you are still benefiting women who are just going through this. Thanks.

How long will dissappear?

Why is there numbing in the scar tissue after mastectomy ? It seems to be helped by Musclemilk. What else can be done to stop this harding pain. Thanks Doro

Should I wear bra or not?😊

I think you have really good information to share, but you are very repetitive. And I'd hoped for more explanation of the use and purpose of the Mobiderm.

You have no idea additional side effect you have after radiation for colon cancer. All get colonoscopy,please. And more often than recommended 10 years. Safe yourself.

Thank you!!!

2 weeks post R mastectomy with reconstruction and axillary clearance, starting to feel pain and tightness in armpit and upper arm, can’t feel any cord, but massage helps. So this looks great to try

It’s been 13 months since my surgery and I’m really struggling. I can’t wear a bra or any type of compression on my bilateral mastectomy scar. I’m retired and have lots of time on my hands. Can I use the medi-pads to massage my scar? If it breaks up adhesions it seems logical to me. Please advise. And thank you so much for being here for us!🙏

Does it make a difference which sort of moisturizer I use? Would coconut oil be good or is something like Gold bond products a good idea?

So glad I found your channel, thank you ,great advice !

Are you based in America?

I sleep day and night now and now I’m even more worried that I’ll have the cancer come back because radiation causes cancer

Your videos are the best resource for post masectomy patients on the Internet. ❤ Thank you so so much.

I have a 5 cm chronic seroma and this makes it hard to massage

Thank you for your helpful videos. I am wondering if I should still attempt to drain toward the collarbone if I've had the supraclavicular lymph node removed. (I've also had all of the axillary LN's removed)

I had a bilateral mystectomy nine months ago no chemo radiation wss needed and my right rib cage area is tender to touch I had stage zero on the right side but I also had problems with A wound drain infection on right and wound dehscience at the right incision site I have mentioned it to the breast surgeon.And the oncologist and they seem to think that it Fibrosis, but it still worries me.

I have suffered rib and back pain after lumpectomy for a malignant Phyllodes tumour I had radiation with boosts No one till now has helped A huge thank you

Sorry too much talk would be more useful to see demonstrations on how to massage the abdomen and breast area not everyone knows how to do this.

Thank you so much 😭😭 I was losing my mind thinking that my cancer has come back. I mean, I know it is a possibility but I've had my lumpectomy in January end. My last day of radiation therapy was on 27 March and around the first week of May, I slowly started getting all the symptoms you have listed. The area is very tender to touch and the skin has become quite thick too. Anyway, I now know that I need to massage it gently. Once again, thank you so much. ❤

I had 25 rounds of radiation last year that completed in 02/23 on my left side. In September 2023 I began to experience what feels like Muscle spasms in my left side rib cage. It feels like a Charlie horse like you would I have gotten in my calf but in my left rib cage. It’s painful and makes it difficult to breathe. Could this be what you are talking about?
