Okay what is the recommended recovery time for healing fromhaving a total masectomy?
I know this seems weird but i have a fellow soldier who was injured in iraq 3 months ago. they left in a peice of metal by accident and it caused his breast to get infected. recently they gave him a full masectomy (it had grown almost to a "b" cup. the kept his lymph nodes in just removed the breast tissue. he has a 6 inch incision on his chest i was thinking that if it was a female they would probably wait like 6 months to try to send her back to iraq because of having to wear the body armor vest and wearing a back pack. now i know the male breast is nothing like the female breast however i would thing htat the recovery time would be the about the same (not referring to psycological factors either which are obviously more of a concern with a female) basically what i am saying is how long after a masectomy does one feel physically possible to do things
