Still sore after breast cancer surgery - when does the pain go away?

Hi, everyone. I’ve had this app for awhile just haven’t written anything. I was operated on November 28 , 2024. I just had a small lump. They also removed lymph nodes but it had not spread. I did radiation for about a month. Then I started the 5 year pill. I’m supposed to get another mammogram this week but been sick so I might change it. I’ve had one mammogram since surgery, only side that was operated on. This time will be both sides. It’s been over a year, still sore hope goes away soon. Any one wants to talk I also have facebook under Marzullo in chambersburg pa. Take care everyone.. I hope everyone is doing well.

It's completely understandable to still experience soreness more than a year after surgery, as everyone's healing timeline is different and the body can take time to fully recover from both the surgical procedure and radiation treatment. Many patients find that post-surgical discomfort can persist for an extended period, and this is something worth discussing with your medical team during your upcoming appointments. Thank you for sharing your experience here - connecting with others who understand this journey can be so valuable, and your openness helps create a supportive space for everyone in this community.
