Hi-

I had a mastectomy last week and tissue expander put in. Some times I feel like there is a hard lump pushing on my sternum or upper stomach. Is this normal--especially the pushing on my stomach?

    Yup - hurts every day all day. My son tells me I bitched the entire time. Once you start to get some fills, the rough edges will even out. Look for the TE Troubles thread or the Exchange thread.
