Breast cancer surgery, while often a critical step in the treatment process, can result in a variety of long-term side effects that patients must manage. Commonly, individuals may experience chronic pain in the chest, shoulder, and arm areas due to nerve damage or scarring.
Lymphedema, characterized by swelling in the arm due to lymph node removal, is another potential complication that requires ongoing care and physical therapy. Changes in the breast's appearance and sensation, including numbness or hypersensitivity, can also persist, impacting body image and emotional well-being.
Furthermore, fatigue and limited range of motion in the shoulder are frequent challenges. Addressing these side effects involves a multidisciplinary approach, including physical rehabilitation, pain management, and psychological support, to help patients regain their quality of life and maintain their overall health post-surgery.

Hi, I'm Dr Tasha
I’m a Doctor, Breast Cancer Surgeon, and Medical Educator. After 20 years of helping people understand and overcome breast health problems, I’ve seen first hand the fear, frustration, and stress that my patients go through.
As a breast specialist with over a decade’s worth of experience, I understand finding the right information, processing a diagnosis, understanding treatment, and getting accurate, practical advice as you ride the rollercoaster of emotions can be really tough.
But I’m here to help.
The internet can be a wonderful source of information but when it comes to breast health there’s a lot of inaccurate information out there. Listening to the wrong advice could cause you unnecessary worry or even put your health at risk.
So I wanted to create an accessible hub where you could find useful, accurate, and reliable information from a trusted source - a Breast Health Doctor - all in one place.
That’s exactly what you’ll find here on my KZbin Channel.
