Dear Donald,
I had a modified radical in 1995, also on the left side. I wasn't given
any pre op exercizes, but while I was still in the hospital, a physical
therapist showed me some things that were helpful. I was also given a
kind of pulley device for exercizing the left arm, and regained full
mobility (though the arm will always feel a little funny). As long as
she follows directions of her medical caregivers, she should be ok. If
we can be of help with other questions, please let us know! Blessings,
Joicy
