Hi all , just wondered if anyone is finding the recovery from tram flap Reconstruction a hard and emotional journey ?
My abdominal wound 5 weeks post surgery is still not healing ! My new breast is doing ok and I am thankful that after three surgeries this year the surgeon has finally managed to get 1 mm clear margins ( I feel this isn’t very big but have been told this is good )
my problem is that now I have to start massaging the scar on my breast and every time I do this I cry! I should be happy but it all feels very weird and the scar isn’t flat , there is a dip in my breast where the tram flap was put in !
Will I begin to feel happier ? I don’t like to keep bothering my breast care nurses at the hospital, they have enough to do !
