Trish & Tonya,
Evening Ladies! Sounds like you are in the same neck of the woods. Trish, I had a lot of hot/cold flushes after my op, and am still having them since the chemo started. Weird huh? I also had a flu shot between surgury and start of chemo. I dont think it's menopause or anything, Im only 47 though I have had a hysterectomy for cervical cancer back in 2001. I know what you mean about the tight feeling, almost feels like theres a big piece of string running up my arm, but it's too short. I had a lumpectomy & a tumour on my sentinal node, so all 33 nodes removed. Geez Tonya, been through this once before, bet it doesnt make it any easier though. Heard back from the Doc and I've been too slack with my pain relief, trying not take it all the time etc etc, so from now till it's gone I am taking it by the clock and to hell with it. Thanks for all the chats ladies, I actually feel a lot calmer tonight, my current drain stragegy is to pretend it isnt there.
