Breast Cancer Now Forum

Thanks Jabey68 My skin is broken underneath my breast and my whole breast is red so i think i need to leave it till next year as i was advised not to swim for 8 weeks and the pool is a big part of my holidays in Gran canaria and to go in november or December is very expensive.
