Mastectomy scar tightness

Hi

it is 11 weeks since my mastectomy and the area around my scar/chest area is like rock. Despite massage every evening and exercise it is not getting any better. 

My breast nurse says it will take time but has anyone experienced similar and got any useful tips to help this area soften?

Thanks. 

Imp.
