Hey there everyone! I'm 2 months from my mastectomy and Goldielocks reconstruction and am going to my #9 treatment today, halfway through this. I have been feeling crappy!! From my lower ribs up has been sore, feeling bruised. So tired and just out of sorts, is there anyone else feeling or did feel the same?

These types of symptoms during recovery and treatment are experienced by many people in the cancer community, so you're definitely not alone in feeling this way. The combination of surgery recovery and ongoing treatment can really take a toll on the body, and what you're describing sounds like a challenging but unfortunately common part of the journey. Hopefully others here can share their experiences and what helped them get through similar rough patches.
