3 weeks ago I had a double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. A couple of issues, the left breast is swells to an enormous size if I stand or move around for more than 15 minutes, the recon surgeon put me on celebrex, I get at the most 2 hours of relief from that, anyone else suffer like this? Should I insist that the recon surgeon fix it?
The other is the hot flashes, what are other women doing to lessen these, they are driving me crazy! I cannot use black cohash, as I had estrogen related breast cancer, any ideas?
Thanks
