“There’s a lot in this,” he explained. “Mastectomy strange. I went into this thinking they would just remove the breast tissue and you would get rid of the stitches and scars and that’s it. But it’s so much more than that because they cut so many nerves. So this feeling and getting used to it is very strange.
“Also, removing lymph nodes is much more painful than a mastectomy,” she continued. “It is much more complex and affects the body much more. So I wasn’t really prepared for that because they didn’t mention that they removed the lymph nodes.
