What are the side effects of breast-conserving surgery?

For breast-conserving surgery, the most common side effects are pain, temporary swelling, tenderness, and hardness from scar tissue at the surgical site. If your surgeon removes axillary lymph nodes, you may also experience swelling in your arm called lymphedema. Lymphedema can be unpleasant and long lasting.

Ask your surgeon more about it if lymph nodes are coming out. Some women find that their breast and arm are sore for up to a year or more after the treatment.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
