Two Months After Mastectomy, Back to Normal, with Prosthetic

This final video in the series on what to expect after mastectomy is at the two month post-op point in my story. I can't believe how quickly things have healed and loosened up even just two weeks after my margin revision surgery. It really is a very smooth journey when you don't add in chemo and radiation right away. My apologies to those dealing with these added stressors. I feel badly that I'm not struggling through the more brutal side of things sometimes, but mostly I'm grateful. (Remember to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan, before or after mastectomy!)
