Hi Julia
As I was only diagnosed a week before you there is little in the way of advice that I can give. At this stage the strongest suggestion I would make is to keep visiting this site and asking and reading from the wonderful ladies who contribute and support and from whom I am learning so much.
I've had a mastectomy and similar to you I had 4 cancerous lymph nodes. I have battled quite a bit with the arm sensations (helped by these ladies) on and off but have noticed that consistently doing the exercises has really helped - 3 weeks out from surgery.
I have my first appointment with the oncologist on Friday and probably start chemo next week, meet radiation oncologist next week and highly likely for treatment after chemo and will have hormone blocking treatment - so sounds like we might be on a very similar journey.
All the best for Friday
Take care, Dette xx
