My mother had cancer on her right breast. Three moths ago she had mastectomy.


She is going for radiation very soon. Some time she feel very pressure on her right side. She felt very heavy. Any information will be helpfull.


Thanks

    Zohra, it sounds like your mum is developing lymphoedema. That is a collection of fluid beneath the skin that is not draining away and this condition can cause pain and heaviness in the area affected.


    Love n hugs. Chrissy
