Side sleeping

Anyone decided to sleep on their side 3 weeks post double mastectomy, ive just given it a go, lots of strange feelings where my boobs were like my chest was sort of falling anyone had that??

Hi I had a lumpectomy so not the same but when I first tried sleeping on my side I hugged a pillow for extra support. Maybe that would help with your ‘falling’ feeling x

Thankyou so much i will definitely try that xx

Hi there

Hope your recovery is going well. :slight_smile:

That’s so interesting. Do you think it could be because you expect that kind of movement when you move on to your side? Sort of like the breast equivalent of the “phantom limb” phenomenon.

All the best x

Yrs exactly how I imagine how that would feel :+1::+1:
