Tram Flap Reconstruction Problems

It has been seven long, painful, problemsome years with my surgery.  Until last year, my stomach remained swollen.  One would have thought that I was 5-6 months pregnant.  In February, 2010, I noticed that the swelling began to shrink.  I got the attention of my Oncologist and he had no answers as to "why."  I still have numbness in my stomach area with nerve pain.  Has anyone else experience a similar situation.  Also, I noticed that my right breast has started to change slightly.  My primary noticed the same.  I just had an x-ray and awaiting the result.

I think you would be more likely to receive an answer to your concerns is you would post on the "Reconstructive Surgery" Forum. I personally have had no experience with reconstruction and evidently our other members who answer questions haven't either. I would think your questions might also be better answered by your Plastic Surgeon rather than your Oncologist regarding the changes you mention.    Regards ....
